This is Kas Dumroese with the northern Idaho / eastern Washington
bird hotline for Friday, May 13, 1994. If you wish to bypass this
recording and simply leave a message for me, including the date of your
sighting and the DeLorme atlas page number is 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. Bird trips and meetings are announced
at the end of the recording.

Birds of note reported this week include FERRUGINOUS HAWK, PILEATED
WOODPECKER, and assorted migrants.

Dale Goble reports a single FERRUGINOUS HAWK just north of Moscow
along the Polk Extension on May 11.

On May 6, he reports a pair of PILEATED WOODPECKERS at Little
Boulder Campground just south of Helmer, Idaho. See Idaho DeLorme page
58, B as in buteo, 3. Also at the campground were migrating YELLOW,
TOWNSEND'S and YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS.

On the south end of Paradise Ridge just south of Moscow, I noted
this past week the arrival of CORDILLERAN FLYCATCHERS, LAZULI BUNTINGS,
BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAKS, and YELLOW WARBLERS.

If you happen to be heading south in Idaho soon, the WESTERN GULL at
Market Lake Slough, just north of Idaho Falls, is still persisting since
it was first observed in early April. This is the second state record.

Upcoming bird trips include: May 21, Canyon Birders at Brown's
Gulch and Palouse Falls. Meet at Swallow's Park in Clarkston at 7:30
a.m. All day trip. Call Louise LaVoie for info at (509) 758-2832.

May 22, Palouse Audubon meets at Dissmore parking lot at 1:00 p.m.
for a walk looking at local birds and wildflowers.

Palouse Audubon has a presentation coming up. On May 18, Jim
Pissot, Director of the Washington State Audubon Office will talk about
the decline of Neotropic migrants and the international program to stop
that decline. His presentation is at the Moscow Community Center on the
corner of Third and Washington Streets and starts at 7:30 p.m.

I'll be gone for the next two Fridays, but listen to Dale Goble for
the latest sightings -- oh, yea.... don't see anything too good until I
get back!

Good birding!
