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

All of this weeks sightings are from the McCall, Idaho area.

Just south of McCall, at Donnelly, Dan Svingen saw 1 or 2
BOBOLINKS near the intersection of East Roseberry Road and Farm To
Market Road, about 1.5 miles east of Donnelly on June 3. I saw one
displaying male last Friday, June 6. ID DeLorme 43, B4.

A good Idaho sighting are the pair of UPLAND SANDPIPERS in Round
Valley, south of Cascade, ID. These were first spotted on June 3 by
Dan Svingen. Take ID 55 to milepost 101.6, turn east onto Round
Valley Road. Follow it 2 miles and turn left (north) on Bacon Creek
Road. Go about 2 miles to Gatfield Road. The birds are in the
meadow to the south of the intersection of Bacon Creek and Gatfield,
often about 0.25 mile west of the intersection. This is all private land,
the landowner is not a birder. Mind your manners and stay on the road
and out of the way. ID DeLorme 43, C4.

Good birding!
