Hi,
We went to Barnaby Slough today. It's up near Rockport. Got there
about noon.
Easy walking trails. The sloughs are the result of old oxbows that have
separated
from the Skagit River. Fairly quiet but can report the following:
4 TUVU circling over open area where we parked.
2 or 3 Kingfisher's seen and heard.
2 Northern Flicker's heard but not seen.
2 song sparrows.
About 3 dozen Canada Geese on the slough and also heard a small flock
in the near
distance on Barnaby 2.
3 Kestrels along the road (open fields) near the end of Martin Ranch
Road.
Heard something large in the brush - probably a black bear. Did not
see it and it
was moving away relatively fast and noisily when we first heard it.
Excellent lunch at the 5 B's Bakery in Concrete.
- Jim in Skagit
