On June 4, 2000, Ruth Sullivan found both a Hermit x Townsend’s Warbler hybrid (left) and an apparently pure Hermit Warbler on Walker Mountain, Jefferson Co. The bird on the left has a greenish wash over the back and yellow extending down over the breast, while the one on the right is white-breasted all the way up to the bib, and the back is gray.

Ruth Sullivan found this basic-plumaged Yellow-billed Loon, Gavia adamsii, at Ocean Shores, Grays Harbor Co., on July 15, 2000.
This Spotted Owl, Strix occidentalis, was a beautiful find for Ruth Sullivan at Whites Pass, Yakima Co., June 24, 2000.
On another trip to White’s Pass, Yakima Co., Ruth Sullivan found a Three-toed Woodpecker, Picoides tridactylus, on July 7, 2000. This Red-breasted Sapsucker, Sphyrapicus ruber, was seen entering and leaving this nest hole by Ruth Sullivan at Rimrock, Yakima Co., on June 24, 2000.

This Northern Hawk Owl, Surnia ulula, has been thrilling birders from both Canada and the United States. It has been spending the winter just south of the border near Blaine, Whatcom Co., WA since January 7, 2001. Michael Hobbs found the bird very cooperative on January 8, when it perched unperturbed for photos.

Patrick Sullivan photographed this Ovenbird near Packwood, Lewis Co., on June 3, 2000.
