>* White-faced Ibis: There was one near the Wallula pulp mill along route
12 about two weeks ago. Sorry, no regular spot for them. We've never seen
one in WA

>* Ferruginous Hawk: Possible in Webber Canyon out of Kiona, DeL pg 39,
c-5. Also try Horn Rapids Road in Richland along the power poles (Del pg 29 T10
n R28E Section 7).


>* Mountain Quail (Nope - sorry)

>* Flammulated Owl (we are still looking)

> Rachet-tailed Treepie --....just kidding...;-)) Call the TriCities Rare
Bird Alert for the most recent sightings. 943-OWLS

>* Cordilleran Flycatcher: For birds that sing like Cordillerans, (DeLorme
pg 41, c-8 ) Take Lewis Peak Road turn left on Walker and right on S Coppei
- play Cordilleran tape at the bridge. This is also a good spot for Veery
and Catbird. Farther up this road Am Redstarts have been seen. Coppei,
Lewis Peak Road and Biscuit Ridge area have great birding opportunities.

>* Green-tailed Towhee: Biscuit Ridge (DeLorme pg 41 D-8 (from Dixie along
Rt 12) GTTOs can be seen at T7N R38E Section 15) At that location, the
road follows a ridge top. There is an clear view back to Walla Walla. Hike
down the grassy hill ~100 yards to some shrubs. The GTTOs sing from these
shrubs. In addition to the GTTOs, there is great birding along this road.

If you stop in the TriCities - feel free to call us - 627-3695. Local alert
is 943-OWLS (6957).
