After hiking up Horse Lake Mountain I stopped in Wenatchee to stretch the legs a bit and enjoy the Horan Natural Area trails in Wenatchee Confluence State Park, over the footbridge on the south side of the Wenatchee River from the main park entrance area.
Great interpretive stops throughout the area and this time of year, birding is a great reward here! In just my 1.5 hours spent slowly roaming not at the peak time of day, I still managed to spot:
Osprey
American Kestrel
Canada Goose
American Wigeon
Mallard
Wood Duck
Mourning Dove
Belted Kingfisher
White-crowned Sparrow (literally 100's of them!)
Red-winged Blackbird
Yellow-headed Blackbird
Brown-headed Cowbird
Robin
Northern Flicker
Hairy Woodpecker
California Quail
Starling
Stellar Jay
Black-throated Gray Warbler
some species of Flycatcher, another of a Vireo, which I wasn't quick enough to I.D.
Muskrat sightings as well.
A great location worth the visit in each season of the year while in Wenatchee!
