Ridgway


Suddenly the birding got really productive. All the usual suspects, plus
evening grosbeak, we finally got the evening grosbeak, plumbeous vireo,
warbling vireo, ruby crowned kinglet, and townsend's solitaire. Three of
these are new birds for us. A golden eagle cruised past with a rodent in
its talons and landed on a nest on the cliff across from us. Now we know
where to look to check if he's there each day. The osprey continues to work
the stream with some success.
