The citrine wagtail made a brief appearance today (Feb 19) at noon, in the usual
location by the wood piles. Seen by myself, David Graylor from California, and
Dave DeReamus from Pennsylvania. It flew in from the southeast where the duck
hunters used to hide, sat on a rock for about a minute by the fourth wood pile,
then flew back in the direction from which it came.

I was up your way yesterday wagtailin’ but unsuccessful. I checked
from 10 am to noon, then again at 3 pm. The Routledges were out as well as
several others.

The puddles in the field are drying up and the bird may be going further to
find food. Apparently it was feeding along the edges of the puddles looking
for insects that came out of the mud.

Seems to me with a large estuary nearby that the wagtail has lots of choices
to go to.

Thinking about traveling from Seattle to look on the 19th.
All the best,

I had been up from Nanaimo to try for it on the 27th of Nov but unsuccessful. So yesterday was just great.
