[Tweeters] If you’re driving past Moses Lake today…

Hi folks,

I was driving along highway 17 just south of I-90 at Moses Lake yesterday and I thought I may have seen a scissor tailed flycatcher.  It looked like a grayish kingbird without yellow and I thought I saw a pinkish wash on it.  It did look more elongated than a kingbird but the tail wasn’t super long like you might expect in a scissor tailed.  Anyway I was in busy traffic heading to work and couldn’t stop or turn around and then work was a little crazy and I totally forgot to check back on this after work.  So I feel silly mentioning this because I was probably going 55 mph when I saw this bird and probably appreciated it for maybe 2 seconds.   So I really don’t know what I saw.  I’m not recommending anyone chase this but if you’re driving by it was only 1-3 miles south of I90 and before road M SE on the east side of highway 17 on a barbed wire fence.
