Subject: Springtime Birding in Lincoln & Spokane Counties
From: Gina Sheridan <gsherida8502 AT yahoo.com>
Date: Thu, 8 May 2008 20:57:07 -0700 (PDT)
On Sunday (5/04/08), Michael Woodruff, Jon Isacoff,
and I had a restricted timeline to bird. As a result,
we opted for a pre-dawn start, and concentrated on the
Reardan-Davenport corridor in Lincoln County. Within
three and a half hours, we managed to tally 88 species
of birds.

Weather-wise, the morning began cold and clear
(mid-30's), but it was sunny and calm. Before we had
to break off our good birding run, the temperature had
risen to around 60 degrees. Due to the protracted
winter weather, snowdrifts still linger on north
facing slopes, and tree foliage is just emerging (some
two weeks later than usual).

Although Reardan Audubon Lake held no real surprises,
it was delightfully lively. As a hidden VIRGINIA RAIL
called from the cattails, an alternate-plumaged HORNED
GREBE glided by, and several WILSON'S PHALAROPEs
wheeled overhead.  Meanwhile, WILSON'S SNIPE winnowed
into the rosy hues of the eastern sky. While
YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRDs provided marshland
ornamentation, MARSH WRENs popped up to greet us. In
Reardan itself, we spotted a lone EURASIAN COLLARED
DOVE.

Our next stop was the Davenport Cemetery. The spring
migrant mix that we encountered there included HERMIT
THRUSHes that were playing hide and seek around the
tombstones, TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE & TOWNSEND'S WARBLER,
NASHVILLE WARBLER, ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER,
YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER, CHIPPING SPARROW, RED
CROSSBILL, FOX SPARROW, WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW,
HAMMONDS & DUSKY FLYCATCHERs, WESTERN TANAGER,
CASSINS' VIREO, GC & RC KINGLETs, HOUSE WREN,
BROWN-HEADED COWBIRD, and LINCOLN'S SPARROW.

Just north of the junction of Hwy 21 & Old Kuchs Road,
we noted NORTHERN SHOVELERs, GREEN-WINGED TEAL,
CINNAMON TEAL, BLUE-WINGED TEAL, and a surprising
subadult BARROW'S GOLDENEYE. Along Old Kuchs Road, we
scored many of the shrub-steppe specialties such as
SAGE THRASHER, BREWER'S SPARROW, LONG-BILLED CURLEW,
SWAINSON'S HAWK, and VESPER SPARROW. Other notables
included WESTERN KINGBIRD, SAYS'S PHOEBE, NORTHERN
HARRIER, BARN SWALLOW, and SAVANNAH SPARROW. 

At the Rocklyn Vernal Pools (west end of Old Kuchs
Road, we were pleased to find an excellent selection
of shorebirds such as KILLDEER -3, DUNLIN -4, LESSER
YELLOWLEGS -1, GREATER YELLOWLEGS -5, SOLITARY
SANDPIPER -1, WESTERN SANDPIPER -1, LEAST SANDPIPER
-8, and WILSON'S PHALAROPE -8.  Joining the shorebirds
were AMERICAN PIPITS - 10, TUNDRA SWAN -1, BALD EAGLE
-1, and WESTERN MEADOWLARK.

In the town of Davenport, we picked up YELLOW WARBLER
and NO. ROUGH-WINGED SWALLOW. On our return leg to
Spokane (east of Reardan), we saw a CLIFF SWALLOW.

After a several hour break, I rejoined Jon and his
family for a late afternoon run out to Philleo Lake
and Paradise Prairie (Spokane County). Some of the
more interesting species on Philleo that we tallied
included AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN -22, BLACK-NECKED
STILT -1, BALD EAGLE -2, COMMON MERGANSER -2, and
OSPREY -1. Paradise Prairie held both WILSON'S SNIPE &
WILSON'S PHALAROPEs and WESTERN BLUEBIRD.

As a result of this glorious spring day, Jon and both
broke 100 species for the day.

05/08/08

This morning we found a WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE at Readan's Audubon Lake seen
from the dike parking lot.  There are BLACK-NECKED STILTS on the dike.  Also
at least one pair of GREATER SCAUP was seen from the highway.  

 

The Davenport Cemetery had 2 TOWNSEND'S WARBLERS & at least one HAMMOND'S &
DUSKY FLYCATCHER as well as a TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE & HERMIT THRUSH.

 

At Swanson Lakes there were 5 DUNLIN, 2 SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS, 1 LEAST
SANDPIPER & 11 AVOCETS.

2 GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROWS were along the road into Swanson Lakes about 2
miles south of where the pavement ends where there are significant trees
along the west side of the road.

 

Yesterday in Spokane I was shocked to hear a WHITE-THROATED SPARROW south of
Mission Park in the Academy front yard.  (SE of Mission & Hamilton)     

 

Good Birding,

At Philleo Lake this afternoon, there were a number of good birds. I had ~130 
Black Terns, 1 Bonaparte's Gull, 15 American White Pelicans, and 1 Western 
Grebe. In the shrubbery I also got my first-of-year Wilson's Warbler and a 
couple Yellow Warblers. There were hundreds of swallows....predominantly Cliff, 
with Barn, Bank, and Tree Swallows as well.

Greetings all:

Currently the Moscow-Pullman Daily News is doing their weekly on-line survey
about the Giant Palouse Earthworm and its proposed status as endangered. I'd
encourage you, whether or not you're a worm lover, to go to the site and
vote.... because, I think we can all agree that the best birding on the
Palouse is anywhere we still have native vegetation, and it's under those
native plant refugia that the worm is likely to be found. Keeping good worm
habitat, therefore, is essential to retaining good bird habitat. Here are
the details:

Check out (and vote in) the Moscow-Pullman Daily news poll (www.dnews.com):

Weekly Poll

Do you think the giant Palouse earthworm warrants protection under the
Endangered Species Act?
No, not under any circumstances
No, not until more information is gathered regarding the worm's population
and habitat.
Yes, under any circumstance.
Yes, until more information is gathered regarding the worm's population and
habitat.

Good birding, and here's to extremely fat American Robins! :-)

HI JOHN,

I USUALLY GET TO THE SIGHT AT ABOUT 8:00 P.M. AND THEY ARE USUALLY 
ALREADY THERE.  LAST NIGHT THEY STARTED TO DROP INTO THE CHIMNEY AT ABOUT 
8:05 AND ENTERED IN SMALL GROUPS FOR A HALF HOUR.  THEY WERE ALL VERY 
VOCAL UNTIL THE LAST TEN MINUTES WHEN THEY CAME IN SILENT AND DROPPED 
STRAIGHT INTO THE CHIMNEY WITHOUT CIRCLING COUNTER CLOCKWISE BEFORE 
ENTERING THE CHIMNEY.

THANKS,

TERRY

Hi All -

This past Sunday I wandered east of Moscow to Deary, then south to Kendrick,
and back north to Troy via Little Bear Ridge Rd. then home to Moscow.

- A stop at Spring Valley Res. was unproductive due to the large number of
fisherfolk around and on the lake - on warm weekend afternoons it's best to
avoid SVR!

- The Deary sewage ponds had 45 Bufflehead and a few other ducks (Bufflehead
seem to really like sewage ponds - what is the attraction??).

- Heading south from Deary on ID-3 I checked some ponds and fields (and
visited a couple of old rural cemeteries in the area). This is a really
impressive drive w/ excellent views of mountains and  the eastern Palouse
wheat fields in all directions. Along the grade down to Kendrick I stopped
at a nice road cut just past mp 16 where I had *Bank, Rough-winged, and
Violet-green Swallows* all nesting or checking out (in the case of the Bank
Swallows) nest holes in various strata including sandstone. At this point
the road is above the Potlatch R. providing good foraging for the swallows.
Looking back up the hill I noticed a *Lewis's Woodpecker* flycatching from
trees near the house at mp 16 (west side of the rd.). I went back to get a
closer look but couldn't relocate the bird. It looks like a great area for
them and suspect nesting in the area is likely. I've had my eye on nearby
Little Bear Ck. canyon for this species as well so was not totally surprised
at this discovery.

- At Kendrick I noted *Cliff Swallows* (which nest on the grain elevators)
and heard a *Yellow Warbler. *(Iris had woken up by this point so we stopped
in town to play in the park and get an ice cream bar for the drive home.)
Just outside of town heading up Little Bear Ridge Rd. an adult *Bald Eagle *was
soaring around - perhaps one of the nesters from nearby Dworshak Res. which
isn't far from here as the eagle flies (I understand there are 3 active
eagle nests on the lake this year).

- Finally there were only a few ducks on the Little Bear ponds but they
included a foy *Blue-winged Teal* and several downy *Killdeer* chick w/
adults on the shore.

It was nice to be back home - what a difference from Florida!

Hi Everyone,

I have been watching a couple of chimneys in Moscow since April 27th.  
The following dates and numbers have been observed:

4/27  32
4/28  22
4/30   8
5/5   35
5/6   68

The first two evenings they were enttering 2 separaate chimneys but now 
are only using the chimney at the north side of the Latah Title Company 
building on Second and Main.  Birds are easiest to see from the alley 
east of the building.

Thanks,

Terry

Date: Wed, 7 May 2008 09:37:14 -0700
I had a pleasant walk through the old (Shattuck) and new UI arboreta
yesterday at noon and found a nice bunch of migrants and spring arrivals.

Calliope Hummingbird - ~ 8 seen well but there were probably 15-20 with all
the zipping around and calling I detected, at least 2 were drinking in the
stream below the lower pond which was neat to see [a few Calliope's have
been at our yard feeders since 5/4 and a male has been doing display
flights, Rufous Hummingbirds showed up yesterday, 5/6]

Hammond's & Dusky Flycatchers - several of each as far as I could tell, at
least a few were calling sporadically confirming what I thought I was seeing
Cassin's Vireo - 1
Ruby-crowned Kinglet
Golden-crowned Kinglet
*Hermit Thrush* - 4 together in a loose group in the understory shrubs at
the sw end of Shattuck
Orange-crowned Warbler - 2
Nashville Warbler - 4
Townsend's Warbler - 1 (well seen in low brush and brilliant!)
Chipping Sparrow - 4
White-crowned Sparrow - 8 (many around other parts of campus as well)
Dark-eyed Junco - 1 (still a few coming through)

I also found a dead adult Great Horned Owl in Shattuck and flushed a live
Great Horned Owl from the new arboretum where we don't see them very often.

Yard birds in addition to hummingbirds mentioned above include a male
Cassin's Finch still coming to the feeders but not many migrants as seen
elsewhere. I've also heard House Wrens the past few mornings on my bike into
work in south Moscow.

Hello all,
A Golden-crowned Sparrow showed up in our garden this morning - and the 
Shoemake's have one as well. A Harris's Sparrow is still coming to a feeder 
in Walla Walla - in breeding plumage. A few Evening Grosbeaks stopped 
briefly in our yard yesterday evening. First sighting since January.
Our Tricolored Blackbirds thinned out already to a couple females - maybe 
they went north. Have all three hummer species at the feeders.
Cassin's Finches and Pine Siskins are common all over town and our 
White-crowned Sparrows are still in the lowlands - they must know about the 
deep snow in the mountains.
Migration is still very slow here in the Walla Walla Valley - walked 
Bennington Lake yesterday and found no new year birds. Did have a 
Long-billed Curlew fly over and an Eared Grebe. The Wood Ducks have fluffy 
ducklings up behind the dam at Rood's Park.
Waiting for BH Grosbeak, WW Pewee, Wilson's Warbler, etc. etc. ----

surveys. From what I understand, the surveys need to be done late 
May/early June. Anyone who is interested, please contact me at: 
Kari Dingman, dingmkld AT dfw.wa.gov or 509-843-1530.

okay gang, 
 
here's your chance to have say on what you would like to see at an observation 
deck for the Stateline Wetlands across from WalMart. The Revitalization group 
wants to turn the area into a community park and environmental education site. 
I am a graduating landscape architecture student who would like to submit some 
ideas. The due date is May 23rd so I don't have a lot of time before it needs 
to be turned in. I am also a birder and have been following all of your emails 
for the last couple of years.......and thought you would like to have some say 
on the design. 

 
what da ya say? Get in touch with me by May 12th so I can implement your 
thoughts.

That first peak is the best place to pause and look back, to see if you took 
the easiest route, to learn the lessons from the first climb. And it is the 
best place to examine the terrain ahead, to change your plans and goals, to 
take a deep breath and begin climbing again. - By Michael Johnson

After Jim Acton called me to say that he had a
White-throated Sparrow at his feeders today, I dashed
over there this evening (5/05/08). After fifteen
minutes of waiting, a gorgeous white-striped-morph
WHITE-THROATED SPARROW delivered a marvelous five
minute show for us. This was one of my most sought
after Spokane County lifers.

Other interesting yard birds at Jims, were lovely male
RUFOUS & CALLIOPE HUMMINGBIRDs.

Subject: Saturday Afternoon Birding in Adams & Grant Counties
From: Gina Sheridan <gsherida8502 AT yahoo.com>
Date: Mon, 5 May 2008 14:28:48 -0700 (PDT)
After the WOS Board meeting on Saturday afternoon
(5/03/08), I managed to do some birding on my own. The
weather was mild, cloudy, and with the occasional
sprinkle.

On the Para Ponds of Adams County, I encountered a
couple of GREAT EGRETs, LEAST SANDPIPER - 2, 
LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER -2, and a single alternate
plumaged DUNLIN. As a decorative touch on the
shoreline, AMERICAN AVOCETs, and BLACK-NECKED STILTS
provided some colorful animation. Meanwhile, MARSH
WRENs, and YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRDs contributed their
vociferous commentary to the wetland soundtrack.

In and around Othello, I saw my first of the season
BARN SWALLOW, BURROWING OWL, and WESTERN KINGBIRDs.
Around Morgan Lake (Adams Co.), there were
ROUGH-WINGED SWALLOWs. BANK SWALLOWs and a CASPIAN
TERN skimmed the watery surface of  McMannaman Lake.

Crossing over to Grant County, I saw another CASPIAN
TERN and GREAT EGRETS along O'Sullivan Dam. In
Potholes State Park, there were quite a few migrants
concentrated in border thicket on the edge of the
developed campground. Working the trees and shrubbery
which have just barely leafed out, were HOUSE WREN,
NASHVILLE WARBLER (almost numerous!), ORANGE-CROWNED
WARBLER, YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER, BULLOCK'S ORIOLE, and
FOX SPARROW  (Grant County lifer). After hearing the
intermittent leaf scratching in the thick underbrush
for some five minutes, I finally obtained a visual on
the Fox Sparrow.

Spring birds are here!

BBWO seen, heard calling...in a small dense patch of pole sized lodgepole pine 
with flaked bark and bark beetles present...just another reason not to thin all 
dense stands of lodgepole pine...as was done in Geophysical despite

I had a Lark Sparrow at the UI Sheep Farm in Moscow this morning. It was
right at the entrance, just past the wood chip piles. The last time I saw a
Lark Sparrow in Moscow (or anywhere in Latah Co. for that matter) was 2
found by Jane Westervelt at the UI Dairy Farm (just around the corner) om
May 3, 2001.

Sorry about the late post but my email has been on the blitz for a few days.


 

I went out Saturday morning to try to find Michael Woodruff's Marbled
Godwits but was unsuccessful. However, their were several nice consolation
prizes. At the Peone Wetland, Joshua and I found SANDHILL CRANES, 3 BLACK
NECKED STILTS, and a GREAT EGRET. Blue Winged Teal and Ruddy Ducks were also
present. 

 

There were also Gray Flycatchers all along Inland Road and at Riverside St
Park  AT  Seven Mile. 

 

Today, I recorded my first American Bittern for the year at the wetland.

 

Blessings

 This weekend I decided to make the trek over to Liberty Lake for the 
GREAT-TAILED GRACKLE, not knowing how many more years, if any, it will continue 
to return. Having been birding in the Houston area just two weekends ago (where 
there are plenty of grackles), I had a tough time deciding whether to go after 
this bird. Thanks to Ron Dexter for the excellent directions and tips on 
locating the bird. I just drove up to the Liberty Lake Golf course and sat down 
on the bench where Ron suggested and within 2 minutes the grackle was there (a 
good state bird). 

 On the way over and back I stopped at several locations including; the Dodson 
Road area, Ginkgo State Park - Vantage, the Old Vantage Highway, Soap Lake, the 
Davenport Cemetery, and Cle Elum amongst others. Additional highlights of the 
birding weekend included: 

EARED GREBE - Soap Lake
AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN - 15 of them near Wilson Creek
GREAT EGRET - along Dodson Road
CINNAMON TEAL - along Dodson Road
REDHEAD - Oasis Park, Ephrata and along Dodson Road
BLACK-NECKED STILT - Dodson Road
AMERICAN AVOCET - Soap Lake
WILSON'S SNIPE - displaying, along Dodson Road
LONG-BILLED CURLEW - Dodson Road
WILSON'S PHALAROPE - Dodson Road
GREAT HORNED OWL - along the Old Vantage Highway
WHITE-THROATED SWIFT - Lenore Lake
HAMMOND'S FLYCATCHER - Davenport Cemetery
SAGE THRASHER - approx MP 22 Old Vantage Highway
HERMIT THRUSH - Davenport Cemetery
EVENING GROSBEAK - Cle Elum
NASHVILLE and ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS - Ginkgo State Park, Vantage
SAGE SPARROW - MP 20 Old Vantage Highway

On Saturday, I drove down to Harrison Idaho which is on the east side of lake 
Coeur d' Alene where the CDA River enters the lake. I went up osprey ally which 
is what I call the dike road between the river and Anderson Lake. I call it 
that because there are so many nesting ospreys this time of year. I did see 4 
nesting pair, which is only about half the normal. But I also saw a pair of 
nesting bald eagles. The eagle nest is by the Anderson lake bridge just south 
of the trail head. 


Anderson Lake had about 6 Tundra swans, and some hooded mergansers. Lots of 
coots this year, they seem to be the most abundant waterfowl along with Canada 
Geese. I also saw 6 turkey vultures near the Anderson Lake bridge. 


I drove home via the highway to Rose Lake, and visited the large slough that 
you see from I-90 near Cataldo. I cross the freeway and get to the north side 
of this and then find Hardy creek road which loops around another wetland that 
may be part of the big slough before they diked it for a road. I saw two pair 
of wood ducks here and some Cinnamon teal. 


On Friday morning I was at Peone Prairie at the Roskelly property entrance. I 
saw two Bald eagles on posts. Mostly Coots, Canada Geese, red wing blackbirds, 
yellow headed blackbirds and some swallows. Would love to see sand hill cranes. 
Some cinnamon teal in the peone creek east of where it crosses Peone road. 


I have a gallery page dedicated to Peone Prarie if anyone is interested in 
seeing these.

Hello All,

Yesterday evening MerryLynn and I drove up north along the Snake River to an 
area known as Walker Pit Rd.. On our way north we discovered an adult Great 
Egret perched near a flooded depresion out in a wheat field at Eureka which 
sits in the great monocultural desert of wheat. Up on the Snake River we saw 
two Am. White Pelicans, an Osprey, Golden Crowned Kinglet and a Gray 
Partridge. After sun down we drove out under a great basalt rim west of 
Lower Monumental Dam (LOMO) and listened for birds. We heard the following 
species after dark.....
Red-tailed Hawk
Rock Wren
Canyon Wren
Common Raven
Great Horned Owl
Coyote

That is it. Later Mike

While Carla Joyal and I were birding at the Peone Wetlands, we spotted a
lone Sandhill Crane.  We  observed it from the south side through an 
opening in the grove of pines above the creek.  The Crane was in the
plowed field across the creek on the  north side.
Also on Saturday between 4:30 and 5 pm at the Central Premix plant pond,
I saw a Snow Goose.  Also there were Eared  Grebes, a Western Grebe, a
Double Crested Cormorant, Green Wing and Cinnamon Teal, Scaup, American
Wigeon, Buffleheads, Northern Shovelers, and Redheads.  
The best time to check for birds there is early morning or late
afternoon.  You have to look through the fence, and a scope is best.  The
pond is located at Thierman and Broadway in the Spokane Valley.  Take the
Broadway exit off the freeway

It seems spring has finally arrived on Paradise Ridge (the last of the snow
left this week). I've been busy planting 600 native shrubs which gets me
outside and finally able to get in some birding... I have somewhere between
a bazillion and 2 bazillion WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS with a dozen or so
CHIPPING SPARROWS mixed in for good measure, a pair of nesting MOUNTAIN
BLUEBIRDS (first time in about 15 years), nesting TREE and VIOLET-GREEN
SWALLOWS, the GREAT HORNED OWLS went to their nest in early March, about 2
months later than normal. On Monday the first HOUSE WRENS arrived. Today
hummers finally arrived -- male and female RUFOUS and male and female
CALLIOPE. I've been watching a pair of WILD TURKEYS that are frequenting the
yard and I'm wondering if they are thinking about nesting as well. Although
the grass widows have come and gone, the glacier lillies and dwarf
waterleafs are out in good measure, being visited by a variety of native
bees. Abother couple of warm days and we'll see some arrowleaf balsamroots
as well.

Good birdin'

From: "Diana"<joneses01 AT myway.com>
Date: Fri, 2 May 2008 21:06:33 -0400 (EDT)
Hello everyone,
 Today Terry Gray and I accompanied Joel (Idaho Fish and Game guy) up the 
Clearwater River to survey the Great Blue Heron rookeries on the list for 
observation. We identified two new rookeries. One consisted of six trees 
(Ponderosa Pine) with a total of twenty-six nest structures, twenty occupied 
nests, and we were able to count twenty-six birds. The other new rookery was in 
one cottonwood tree with five nests and six birds present. 

 Also of note during the day (not listed in tax. order) Common Merganser, 
Tundra Swan, Lewis's Woodpecker, White-throated Swifts, and two nesting pairs 
of Bald Eagles. Of course we saw the usual suspects as well, including several 
Osprey on nest, Canada Geese with goslings, Kingfisher, and Western Kingbirds. 

   A good day of birding!
Diana Jones

Hi Everyone,
 Today (4:00) Terry Gray and I found two White-faced Ibis, one Black-necked 
Stilt, and sixteen American Avocets at Mann Lake, along with the usual suspects

I just got back from Philleo Lake, just west of Spangle accessed from Jennings 
Rd. There were 24 MARBLED GODWITS at the southwest end. This is the first 
they've been in the county in several years at least. Great birds. They're way 
on the far side but can be viewed with a scope. 


I also had 1 WILSON'S PHALAROPE with the godwits, and 15 AMERICAN WHITE 
PELICANS out in the lake. On shore there was some migrant activity including 1 
NASHVILLE WARBLER, 1 DUSKY FLYCATCHER, 3 HOUSE WRENS, and 1 YELLOW WARBLER. 


Also had a couple TOWNSEND'S WARBLERS here at school.

Good birding!

Subject: hello from southeast Florida
From: "Charles Swift" <chaetura AT gmail.com>
Date: Fri, 2 May 2008 10:39:22 -0400
Hi All -

I've been in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida (southeast coast north of Miami) for
the week where my wife is attending a science conference and Iris and I have
been enjoying the sun and warmth. I've been able to do a bit of birding and
have copied some eBird lists below and included a link to a web album w/ a
few photo images.

There are good birding spots in the area but the coastal strip here is
pretty well developed. Common around our motel are Brown Pelicans (flying up
and down the beach), E. Collared-Doves, N. Mockingbirds, and C. Grackles.
I've had a Gray Kingbird in a vacant lot across the street and finally
figured out the bird tooting across the street all week was a Common
Ground-Dove. Neotropical migrants (mostly warblers, up to a dozen or more
species) are often coming through at this time but I haven't had many this
year. Otherwise there are good locations north and south along the coast and
in the interior and we've visited a few. I've had 70 species so far and most
years don't expect many more. Most certainly it is easier to find more
species in the inland northwest at this time of year but there are some
pretty interesting ones here.

Charles.

On Monday evening (4/28/08), I saw a VAUX'S SWIFT just
north of the I-90/Hamilton Ave. junction. Within
several days of the May 1st timeframe, I have often
encountered Vaux's Swifts along the I-90 corridor in
Spokane. Apparently, they appear briefly in Spokane
near the first of May and then push on to their
breeding sites.

moving in. Highlights included new and/or recent arrivals: CASSIN'S VIREOS 
(singing and flycatching); NASHVILLE and YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS, RED-NAPED 
SAPSUCKER, and FOX SPARROW. One EMPID. FLYCATCHER was present but it didn't 
want to talk, so it's hard to say which type (ruling out Gray and Least). Other

This morning, my son Joshua and I spent several hours around the Peone
Wetland and the surrounding foothills of Mt Spokane.

 

Noteworthy birds seen around the wetland: Sora, Virginia Rail, Osprey (rare
at the wetland itself), Blue winged Teal (fos), Marsh Wren, all six swallow
species, Western Kingbird (fos).

 

On nearby Holcomb Rd, we found Western Tanager (fos), a large flock of
Evening Grosbeaks, Lazuli Bunting (fos), Townsend's Solitaire, Red Naped
Sapsucker, Orange Crowned & Yellow Rumped Warblers. Madison Road added three
nuthatches and three chickadees to the list. 

 

A quick side trip to St George's School Rd and the Fish Hatchery provided
Nashville (nice close up) and Yellow Warblers (fos) and Red Crossbills.

 

80 species in three hours - a fun morning 

 

Blessings

Terry Little
