All,
As I locked the back patio door this morning (800 am), I flushed a SAY'S PHOEBE
off the deck. It flew several houses down, perched, and then flew out front.
I suspect it moved to the marshy area between the two housing developments.
I also have had good numbers of Greater Yellowlegs off the back deck over the
weekend as have been found in western Clark County: calling birds Friday, at
least 10 Saturday at dusk, and constantly calling birds all day yesterday (try
to do taxes when all you hear is yellowlegs and green-winged teal, which have
numbered in the 150-250 bird range all week). My house overlooks the Lacamas
Creek floodplain about two miles above Lacamas Lake
