There was a flotilla of them, 18 or so, parked in a field on HWY 52 east of Letha this a.m. Too far for me to discern a snowy, but I was hoping, too!

Re: Moving to WA
Over the years I have truly enjoyed your enthusiasm and joy for birding. It seems we cross paths occasionally and I am always amazed at your ability to identify so many birds by calls and quick glimpses. Hope your back has healed completely from the surgery and that you are capable of doing all the things you desire. You will be missed ! Best of luck in your new home!
Re: Moving to WA
Janet,
Go to the Ridgefield NWR website, find the Friends of Ridgefield NWR link.
They will connect you with a birder who is familiar with the Refuge.

Moving to WA
We are moving to Ridgefield WA which is on the east border of the Ridgefield NWR. Anybody have a birder friend in that area. It’s just 15 miles north of Portland, OR. We close in early September.
