Yesterday (1.14.26) there was a RED FOX SPARROW at the edge of the Green
River, along Frager Rd, just south of the barn & S 204th St:

This is but a few feet from where I saw a RED FOX SPARROW on November 4 of
last year.

Tweets - I was warm (49-52 degrees) with a high overcast and no
precipitation after some pre-dawn mist. No fog, and only a little wind.
Except for waterfowl, it wasn't terribly birdy, but we did get sufficient
cameo appearances to make our species total okay.

Highlights:
Trumpeter Swan - Five flew right over our heads calling!
Eight species of duck - Green-winged Teal was our obvious miss
Anna's Hummingbird - One displaying, a couple of others singing, and
by the end we'd seen ~10
Virginia Rail - Matt heard them "singing" - Kiddick-kiddick - pre-dawn
Killdeer - One heard calling pre-dawn was, I believe, our first since
early November
Red-breasted Sapsucker - One incessantly calling (and finally seen)
near the concert venue restrooms. Our first since September!
Northern Shrike - Adult in the south end of the East Meadow
Bewick's Wren - Much singing, few sightings
House Finch - Maybe only two, but one was singing complete songs
Song Sparrow - Much singing
Lincoln's Sparrow - Two together in the SE part of the East Meadow
Red-winged Blackbird - Only a couple, but they produced perhaps their
full repertoire of sounds

Sparrow numbers were low, with maybe just 1-2 FOX SPARROW, 1 WHITE-CROWNED
SPARROW and 5-6 GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROWS.

Misses today included Green-winged Teal, Ring-billed Gull (though the flock
of 125-150 gulls was never observed on the ground), Hairy Woodpecker,
Red-breasted Nuthatch, and Purple Finch.

For the day, 52 species.

Inspired by an August 2011 National Geographic article on the Spirit Bear, by wife Dory and I visited last September what is now called the Great Bear Rainforest. This is a area set aside to preserve old growth forests through a collaborative agreement. This rainforest runs along the west coast of British Columbia, and is the largest tract of unspoiled temperate rainforest on earth. We put together a video of highlights of this area including some of the birds and mammals, which is probably of interest to you in the Tweeters community. This is an inspiring natural area!
