Tuesday afternoon my wife and I went to Baskett Slough and it was somewhat active with shorebirds and other larger birds. The Black-necked Stilts were still at The Narrows on Colville Rd. We also saw 27 American White Pelicans and three Great Egrets. Further down Colville Road toward Hwy. 99 we observed numerous Turkey Vultures, American Kestrels and a Northern Harrier all actively hunting with some success. We also saw a lone Ring-necked Pheasant just before reaching the Rich Guadagno Trail parking lot.
