On Friday, August 29, 1997, I visited Mann's Lake, Nez Perce County,
Idaho, from 1100 to 1400 PDT. The highlights were:

Black-bellied Plover 1
Semipalmated Plover 1
Long-billed Dowitcher 2
Greater Yellowlegs 1
Lesser Yellowlegs 5
Killdeer 30-40
Western Sandpiper 15
Least Sandpiper 5
Canada Goose 1000's
Eclipse Ducks 100's
Northern Shovelers 50
Northern Pintail 25
Mallard 100
Northern Harrier 1
Osprey 1
Accipiter sp. 1
Say's Phoebe 1

For those of you not familiar with northern Idaho, Mann's Lake is an
irrigation pond/ fishing hole just outside of the town of Lewiston, Idaho.
If you would like dirctions, feel free to email me. It is one of the few
sites for shorebirds and ducks that is accessible from the Palouse in a
short drive.
Sorry for the lateness of the report. School is already taking away
time from birding :-)
