 Predicted 70s, light wind near Ellensburg so we drove to see the bluebirds and balsam root. 
The Arrowleaf BalsamRoot was peak along Hwy 10, Yakima River and on Hayward Rd. Early boom near Cle Elum.But where are the bluebirds? I visit this area every 2-3 years to see both Western and Mountains on the bluebird boxes on Hayward. Numbers seem down during my last 2 visits.
