Columbia Estuary Report - 3/8/2015

A WHITE-TAILED KITE was reported from Ft Stevens early last week by
Dane Osis.  I photographed a kite at the historical area Friday which
(presumably) was the same bird.  There is also a NORTHERN SHRIKE at
the historical area.

A SORA has been heard on multiple visit to the wetland near the Barendse
Rd Bridge at Brownsmead along with up to 7 VIRGINIA RAILS.  Six AMERICAN
WHITE PELICANS are hanging out with TUNDRA SWANS at Bughole.  Up to 60
GREATER YELLOWLEGS have be seen at Svensen Island (we counted 39 today).

I've been seeing TREE SWALLOWS in pretty good numbers for at least two
weeks now.  Small numbers of VIOLET-GREEN SWALLOWS have been noted at
several locations and 4 very scruffy looking BARN SWALLOWS were along
Jackson Rd, Brownsmead on Thursday.

Multiple RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRD reports from several folks this week.

MOURNING CLOAKS have been reproted from multiple locations this week
and a LORQUIN'S ADMIRAL was spotted at Ft Stevens Friday.
