A short morning of birding around Grant County, WA proved to be quite
rewarding. While last evenings wind seemed to blow some birds out, others
took their place. Several locations were checked and the following
highlights were noted.

Potholes State Park:

SABINE'S GULL - One juvenile, behaving like a shorebird picking insects off
the beach.
SANDERLING - 17 A good bird and unusually large numbers. These birds were in
two groups about 100 yards apart on the beach right in the park.
House Wren - 1 getting late for these

Migraine Lake:

SABINE'S GULL - Two juvenile birds

Lind Coulee:

Pectoral Sandpiper - 26, very good numbers
Long-billed Dowitcher - 169
Osprey - 1

Moses Lake Community Park:

Bewick's Wren - 2
Sandhill Crane - 15 A flyby at quite close range
Lincoln's Sparrow - 4
Swainson's Hawk - 1 a new bird for this location
