Grebe on the Columbia

Some folks think this is a Clarks Grebe, others think it is a Western Grebe. It is regularly observed just above the Chief Joseph Dam on the Columbia River by the 'burn pile'.

Next bird walk in the Methow

Just a short post to let you know that our next Audubon Methow Valley Bird Walk is September 8th. We will continue to meet at the MVSTA parking lot in Winthrop at 7:30 am. We are heading down valley to Cassimir or Bridgeport Bar on the Columbia in hopes of seeing American White Pelicans and other waterbirds. Bring your lunch and something to drink and of course your bird books and binos. This might be a good trip to have a scope or two along. And bring your ideas for future bird walks!
