[Tweeters] Cowlitz County birding

[Tim Brennan]

Heya Tweets,

I played digital nomad and snuck some birding in on March 29th and 30th down in Cowlitz County. It was quite productive with 17 new birds added for the year, bringing the Cowlitz year total to 100. A Eurasian Wigeon is still hanging around at Lake Sacajawea, (as is a Greater White-fronted Goose, I believe, although I missed it!). Ospreys and Turkey Vultures, Wood Ducks, Savannah Sparrows and Swallows are all back for the spring as well. Woodland Bottoms was particularly productive, with adds of White-breasted Nuthatch, White-throated Sparrow, American White Pelican (100ish at the south (bottom?) end of the bottoms), and Lesser Goldfinch. Much thanks to Russ Koppendrayer for tips on some of those birds!

A monthly swing through the southwest corner of Washington state, including Cowlitz, Clark, Wahkiakum, and Skamania Counties, with a goal of finding 150 species of birds in each by year's end.
