It's more of a magic formula than a particular birding spot, but I thought I'd pipe up with my one of my favorite fall birding trips: taking at least one long weekend with the WA gazetteer, binoculars, some camping stuff, a canoe or kayak if feeling ambitious,
and then just checking places out. This could be picking a state park or DNR campsite + exploring surrounding areas, or more like a road trip.</div>

The Columbia, Frenchman's Coulee, Dry Falls/Sun Lakes, Steamboat Rock, FDR reservoir, Columbia WLR, Potholes in the north; and Yakima canyon, White Bluffs, and points south to the Stonehenge anti-war monument and the Columbia are all good places to steep in
the smell of damp sagebrush, see some birds, and awaken to the knowledge that the volume of quail it would take for one to tire of seeing, hearing, and exclaiming "ohmygod look at those quail!" to one's companion(s) is beyond the scope of human imagination. </div>

Subject: [Tweeters] Central Washington<br>
<br>
Hi Tweeters,<br>
I'm wondering if anyone might have suggestions for birding this time of<br>
year, this week in particular, in Central Washington, primarily the Yakima,<br>
Ellensburg, Leavenworth areas. Yakima Valley Audubon doesn't seem very<br>
active online and I'm wondering if Central/Eastern Washington has a<br>
listserv similar to Tweeters.<br>
Many thanks,<br>
