[Tweeters] Kittitas County

[Hank Heiberg via Tweeters]

This past week we spent a very enjoyable 3 days birding in Kittitas
County.  Each day had birds and sights of interest.  Here are a few of the
highlights.

A not at all rare Black-headed Grosbeak popping out of the bushes and
bathing in the Cle Elum River.

Unexpectedly seeing an American White Pelican in a pond adjacent to Canyon
Road as we headed south out of Ellensburg.

Seeing 16 Yellow-headed Blackbirds rise out of the marsh in Rotary Park
(Ellensburg) and then settle back down.  The marsh was very loud with
Yellow-headed Blackbird vocalizations.
