This is Kas Dumroese with the northern Idaho / eastern Washington /
northeastern Oregon bird hotline.

I was at Mann Lake near Lewiston, Idaho, on August 17 and was joined
today, the 23rd, by Dan and Ila Svingen. Birds seen Sunday not seen
today included 2 PECTORAL SANDPIPERS, a solitary SOLITARY
SANDPIPER, one AMERICAN AVOCET and 2 LONG-BILLED
DOWITCHERS. Birds seen both days included RED-NECKED
PHALAROPES, WESTERN SANDPIPERS, up to 7 SEMIPALMATED
SANDPIPERS, BAIRD'S SANDPIPERS, GREATER and LESSER
YELLOWLEGS, and SPOTTED SANDPIPER. New birds today included a
flock of 11 FORESTER'S TERNS and a single juvenile SHORT-BILLED
DOWITCHER. To get to Mann Lake, take US 12 west into Lewiston,
cross the Clearwater Bridge and immediately turn left toward East
Lewiston. Follow Main Street to the blinking yellow light and turn right
onto Lindsay Creek Road. Stay right at the Y and follow Lindsay Creek
until it dead ends at Grelle. Turn left onto Grelle, and just after
Grelle makes a 20 mph right turn, turn left toward the lake. Head straight
about 1.3 miles on the newly paved road to the dead end and the parking
area. Idaho DeLorme p. 54, A1.

Good birding!
