    The majority of these were on the milfoil in the middle of the river. Some of these may have been across the state line in Oregon, but it's pretty hard to tell. There was another four in the Slough that flushed out of the reeds when I was kayaking.

    Several nests on the milfoil in the middle of the river. Counted one at a time through scope. I'm not entirely sure that all of these birds were in Washington as it appeared to be about the middle of the river where the state line is. First time for me seeing nests.
