This is Kas Dumroese with the Northern Idaho / Eastern Washington /
Northeastern Oregon bird hotline for Monday 12 August (2002). This hotline,
sponsored by Palouse Audubon, is updated every Monday evening. Transcripts
of this RBA and membership info are available on-line at

If you wish to bypass this recording and simply leave a message for me,
including the date of your sighting and the DeLorme atlas page numbers and
coordinates if you have them, push the pound button on your telephone now.
Otherwise wait for the beep at the end of the tape. Please give me good
directions, your fellow birdwatchers will appreciate it.

We are definitely in the late summer doldrums. No rarities were reported,
although scattered reports of scattered shorebirds are coming in. Bad news
is that Mann Lake near Lewiston ID is at full capacity, meaning no exposed
mud which will greatly reduce shorebird numbers. Get out and see what you
can find-there must be something good around! How about at Reardan ponds?
The Walla Walla River delta?

If you have any questions about birds on the report, call me before 9 pm at
208.883.0943. If you see any of the birds mentioned in this report, be sure
to let me know.

Good birding.
