I made a run for it, down to Killen Creek Trail, hiking the trail up to the PCT, and later driving some of the roads in the area. Can one have a good birding trip in that area without finding Spruce Grouse? I think this is a yes, although I was surprised to
come back with 6 new birds for my Skamania year (Merlin, Mountain Chickadee, Clark's Nutcracker, Cassin's Finch, American Three-toed Woodpecker, Pine Grosbeak) without any of those cute little chickens. Other eBird reports from the area have also included
Spruce Grouse, and I even talked with a . . . hiker? Horser? A person on horseback on the trail who said that they had not seen any grouse, but that they had seen "prairie chickens" near Keene Horse Camp. So, I'm sure the getting is good for them. Roads were
clear, and the hike up Killen Creek Trail was pleasant. </div>
