<div>This morning we searched for the Stillwater American Redstart(s) by parking at Stillwater and heading out to an area near the Snoqualmie River using the co-ordinates given on eBird by other birders.<br></div><div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">We were not successful. The purpose of this post is to describe the conditions that we encountered. Once we got into the wooded area where the Redstarts have been reported the mosquitoes were so bad that we only birded for a couple of minutes before leaving. We wore long pants and coats with hoods. We used a non-DEET insect repellent. So we didn’t end up with many bites, but the mosquitoes were all over us. So annoying that we left. Neither we nor Merlin heard a Redstart during our brief stay.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Good luck if you head out there.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Hank & Karen Heiberg</div><div dir="auto">Issaquah, WA<br><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div></div>
