The Audubon Field Trip on April 24 was a lot of fun despite the windy conditions, irrigation sprinklers across the road, and dust from plowed fields.
Swainson's hawks were the most prevalent raptor seen by far. We had several good looks at them - flying, perched and even copulating. Other highlights included barn owls (seen in two locations), three great horned owl chicks, yellow-headed blackbirds, American avocets, cinnamon teal, bufflehead, long-billed curlews, osprey seen in several locations and American white pelicans flying along the Walla Walla River.
It's nice to see our summer residents back in the Valley. Ginger
