While driving into Yacolt it was a partly cloudy day about 60 degrees. I had to see these new changes for myself as well as the other news I had heard over the phone from a few Yacolt residences.

As I was approaching the corner of Twin fall & Hubbard I was greeted by Councilman James Waldron, Also known as “The Colonel “ and past Mayor of Yacolt. He informed me that two Quakers had been seen living inside of N.W. Bird Rescues, nest box number two, located on Hubbard Street.

As I approached the N.W. Bird Rescue Platform Site Number two. I saw two Quakers, startled and flew away, out of this location.
As I was leaving town I was wondering about the fate of the remaining Quakes once again.

Somehow, I had a feeling that the Quakers called the"Yacolt 6 "will survive.
