March Lowdown

It rained through a big chunk of March, causing minor flooding, but probably didn't solve the big-picture drought (snow pack didn't change enough).

Migrants are running right about on time. TREE, VIOLET-GREEN and CLIFF SWALLOWS all checked in at or near expected arrival dates.

Singing ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS showed up at the South Jetty of the Columbia River around the 18th.

CASPIAN TERNS were on Youngs Bay by the 27th.

The last reliable sighting of the Seaside YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER was Mar 2.
