I am not a tweeter so I have to ask where the TriCities area is located?
Apologies from a MNBird netter.

>The Lower Columbia Basin Audubon Society (LCBAS) now has a Rare Bird Alert
>which covers the TriCities and vicinity. The phone number is 509-943-OWLS
>(943-6957). Sightings of rare birds in the TriCities area can be reported
>to this number or sent to this e-mail address.
>
>The LCBAS local checklist includes species found within a 25 mile radius of
>Richland so that will be the area covered. Exceptional birds like the
>current Yellow-billed Loon at Blue Lake would also be reported. At the
>present time the recording is requesting sightings but will be updated in
>the near future.
>
>This alert was created due to the growing number of birders in our area and
>the resulting difficulty of trying to do "phone trees". We hope this will
>also be useful to other interested and/or visiting birders.
>
>This alert is working in cooperation with the SAS and E Washington, N Idaho,
>NE Oregon hotlines. We welcome comments to our e-mail address.

>PS: Scott Ray, please consider this an announcement to Washington Birder.
