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

All three sightings tonight are from eastern Washington and were
reported by Jim Acton.
A first spring-plumaged male ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK is just
outside Electric City, Grant Co., WA. The bird is up Northrup Canyon,
just off WA 155. Follow the road up the canyon to the gate.
Continue on foot down the road into the brushy area. A pile of rocks
three high marks the southern and northern ends of the birds apparent
range. Specificially, it's in T27N, R30E, Sec 5. WA DeLorme 85,
AB-8.

A LEAST FLYCATCHER is residing in the Davenport, Lincoln Co., WA
cemetery. The cemetery is just outside Davenport on the west end of
town. WA DeLorme 87, C-7. Specifically, T25N, R37E, Sec 20.

And finally, three male and one female BLACK-BACKED
WOODPECKERS are in the newly burned area of Riverside SP just
northwest of Spokane. This area is on the west side of the Spokane
River, and can be accessed via the Centennial Trail. Take Government
Way to Aubrey White Parkway and follow the parkway to its dead end.
>From here, hike about another 0.25 mile downriver. Jim knows of
two nest sites and would be happy to show folks. Give him a call at
509-747-4880. WA DeLorme 88-89, C on the crease.

If you need any information about the sightings, give me a call at
208-883-0943.

Good birding.
