[cobirds] Last Chance, Washington Co.

I made a quick stop at Last Chance today [at the intersection of highway 71 and highway 36].
 
It was pretty, pretty, slow, with gale force winds. This I'm sure added to the situation.
 
1, immature Swamp Sparrow. This bird acted as if I was not even there. The experience was not a fleeting look, which I usually get of Swamp Sparrows.
1, Song Sparrow
1, Hermit Thrush
2, Dark eyed Junco [Slate-colored Junco], 1, m. and 1, f.
2 ,American Robin
1, Townsend's Solitaire
House Finches
 
and that was about it. No Warblers anywhere.
 
The many Canada Thistle seedheads are opening up , although they reproduce more by underground rhizomes. Next year should be interesting for this plant. Lot's of Golden Currant seedlings [Ribes aureum], coming up in many places.
 
Happy Birding !
