Dave Beaudette reports some good birds from the Wenatchee, WA region. On 16
June an ASH-THROATED FLYCATCHER was along US 2 east of Orondo in Douglas CO
WA. Orondo is about at milepost 140. At milepost 141.7 is a nice pullout
and the flycatcher was in the riparian zone below. WA DeLorme 83, CD-7.5. On
17 June Dave found a LEAST FLYCATCHER singing in the riparian zone along
Indian Camp Road about 1.7 miles from the Badger Mtn Road in Douglas CO. WA

St Andrews, along Road N NE just north of Road 6 NE [St Andrews W Road] on
19 June. WA DeLorme 85, C-5. And finally, along with Nancy Scott and Roger
Johnson, Dave saw a second year male HARLEQUIN DUCK along the river along
the Loop Trail at East Wenatchee off of the 27th Street entrance on 21 June.

Michael Dossett saw a single WHITE-FACED IBIS from a pullout off WA 28 just
east of Wilson Creek, Grant Co WA, near milepost 71. WA DeLorme 69, A-8.

The LEAST FLYCATCHER reported last week by Gina Sheridan in northern ID was
