[Tweeters] Windy Gap migration (King/Kittitas Counties)

[pan via Tweeters]

Tweets,

Yesterday, Mark and Elaine T. and I birded Windy Gap, on the crest border of King and Kittitas Counties, for about five hours.  Clear skies and east-northeast winds seemed likely to bring us birds, but it was slow.  We did have robins and Varied Thrushes eating deteriorating huckleberries, a fair number of Golden-crowned Sparrows, and one flurry of activity mid-day, which included several pipits, a half-dozen Mountain Bluebirds, a Townsend's Solitaire, and an immature goshawk harassing a Red-tailed Hawk, our only raptors.  

A quick afternoon check of Veazie marsh near Enumclaw featured a few snipe and a dozen or more dowitchers, plus a few white-fronted geese in the field to the west.
