This midday I was able to get out birding, and since I needed to go to Puyallup anyway I kept going east to Ashford hoping for maybe a Pine grosbeak, N. Pygmy owl or Townsend’s solitaire.  What I got was beautiful snowy scenery adn the dipper at the usual Elbe stop.  One was singing under the bridge in response to a recording, but didn’t come into view.  Another was far upstream and the only photos I could find the bird in were in flight.

Overall a nice drive on a cold snowy day.
