SORRY FOR THE ABSENCE OF THIS HOTLINE FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. 3
EXCUSES: 1) NOT GETTING MY COPY VIA COMPUTER DUE TO COMPILER ON
VACATION! 2) NOTHING REPORTED AT ALL LAST WEEK! 3) BUSY/PHONE/TAPE NOT
WORKING PREVIOUS WEEK!

BTW: If anyone wants to think about taking over this hotline as a
transciber, it will be open in mid July. I will be moving to Loma Linda,
CA (wife in medical school, etc), which will necessitate my signing off
for a time. --Stacy (petest at wwc.edu)

This is Kas Dumroese with the northern Idaho / eastern Washington bird

and simply leave a message for me, including the date of your sighting
and the DeLorme atlas page number if you have it, push the star button on
your telephone now.

This hotline, sponsored by Palouse Audubon, is updated every Friday
sometime before the dinner hour.

Birds of note reported this week include RED-EYED VIREO, BROAD-TAILED
HUMMINGBIRD, WILLIAMSON'S SAPSUCKER, LONG-EARED OWL, NORTHERN SAW-WHET
OWL, NORTHERN PYGMY-OWL, GREEN-TAILED TOWHEE, and BLACK-BACKED
WOODPECKER.

Mike Denny reports a RED-EYED VIREO and BROAD-TAILED HUMMINGBIRD in his
College Place, Washington, yard this past week.

At Field's Spring State Park Memorial Day weekend, Dan Svingen reports
the WILLIAMSON'S SAPSUCKERS are in. He also saw LONG-EARED OWL,
SAW-WHET, and PYGMY-OWL there. The park is about 5 miles south of
Anatone along Washington Highway 129, or about 30 miles south of
Clarkston. See Washington DeLorme page 43, D as in dowitcher, 7.

Dan also reports GREEN-TAILED TOWHEE at the Wenatchee Guard Station as
well as nesting BLACK-BACKED WOODPECKERS. The guard station doesn't show
on the Washington DeLorme, but it's in the vicinity of Wickiup on page
43, C as in chickadee, 5. There's a good description of the are in the
Guide to Bird Finding in Washington, by Wahl and Paulson, page 155. You
may also call Dan at (208) 245-2282 for better directions, although he's
leaving town on the 7th.

A reminder to folks to send their Idaho sightings for American Birds for
the months of March, April, and May to Dan Svingen at PO Box 273, St.
Maries, Idaho, 83861 by June 17th. Thanks.

Sorry for the technical difficulties this past week.

Good birding!
