This is Dale Goble with the northern Idaho / eastern Washington /
northeastern Oregon bird hotline.

Kris Buchler saw a winter-plummage PACIFIC LOON on Mica Bay on Coeur
d'Alene Lake. A BULLOCK'S ORIOLE was also present in the area.

On June 10, John Roberson found two COMMON LOONS on Williams Lake
south of Cheney, Washington. WA DeLorme, p.72, A-B 3.

John and Amy also found several LARK SPARROWS in Steptoe Canyon
southwest of Uniontown, Washington on June 5. The birds were between
mileposts 5 and 7. A BARN OWL was sighted across the creek from the
road in a large hole at about milepost 5.2

Robert Flores reports that a WHITE-FACED IBIS was present at 4:00
today at Para Pond on Mcmanoman Road north of Othello, Washington.
Last night three TRI-COLORED BLACKBIRDS were found where Mcmanoman
Roads crosses the railroad tracks.

A BLUE JAY is visting Gladys Tester's feeder in Murry, Shoshone
County, Idaho.

Kas found a FRANKLIN'S GULL yesterday on the beach at Sandpoint,
Idaho. The bird was molting out of winter plummage. Today the group
found two singing LEAST FLYCATCHERS at the Kootenai NWR. There is a
gated road just north of the parking lot for the Cascade Overlook.
You can walk through the gate and down to a grove of cottonwoods along
the river. There was one bird on each side of the river.

Good birding.
