Methow Valley – 1

Posted on by

When we reached Washington Pass on the way over to the Methow Valley (Winthrop) we encountered a significant flock of Gray jays and Clark’s nutcrackers…. with ideal photographic conditions.

Once in the Methow Valley we saw at least three, and possibly four, species of flycatchers.  Unfortunately some of these flycatchers are identifiable only through hearing their vocalizations (or DNA testing!) so I am unsure of the exact species.  However I was able to identify an Olive-sided flycatcher (not pictured).
