Day 112: Little Rainey Creek is flowing at capacity, something it only does during the rainy season, and no, the name is not a misspelling of "rainy." I do not know who Mr. Rainey was, but his name was attached to this lovely stream in a wetland managed by Cowlitz Wildlife. The wetland is a birdwatcher's paradise, and today I saw Golden-Crowned Kinglets and Chestnut-Backed Chickadees flocking together as they are wont to do. Shy of humans here, I was unable to capture either species in the camera, a story which repeats every time I encounter these elusive birds. That said, if you visit Rainey Creek in any season but the dead of winter, be sure you take an abundant supply of mosquito repellent! Those insect-eating birds love the area for a good reason.
