Ann Johnson, Iowa web developer of the CFO, DFO, and Evergreen Audubon’s Bear Creek Atlas Project websites, and I traveled up to Evergreen, Echo Lake, and Summit Lake yesterday. Highlights included the Barrow’s Goldeneye hen with her 10 very small ducklings at Echo Lake. I think this might be the 5th year she has nested there. Please correct this if needed. Brad Andres said he saw the male there earlier this year.
We saw American Pipits and lots of tourists at Summit L. We also watched lots of hummingbird activity at the many feeders at every window during lunch at Echo Lake Lodge. They included a Calliope HB male, a couple Rufous, several Black-chinned, and many Broad-tailed Hummingbirds.
Then a visit to Evergreen Nature Center with Brad Andres. He and Ann were meeting in person for the first time after hundreds of hours on the phone during the http://www.bcwbba.org/ website development!
A great visit! Good birding,
Kay
