The Washington Ornithological Society would like to announce the following
field trip:

Saturday, June 12th, 2004 Mark Houston will lead a trip to the Sanpoil River
valley in Ferry County. Birding the riparian habitat along the Sanpoil River
valley from Republic south toward Keller, there is probably more habitat
here for "eastern" passerines than anywhere in Washington.

Dominated by black cottonwood, several willows, and quaking aspen as
overstory trees, the riparian zone boasts a species-rich shrub-and-herb
layer. Target birds include eastern kingbird, red-eyed vireo, veery, gray
catbird, American redstart, northern waterthrush, and bobolink. Time
permitting, three-toed and black-backed woodpecker will be sought in the
Leona Mountain burn east of Curlew Lake.

Limit of 10 birders. Contact Mark at (509) 747-4585 or email
markjhoust at aol.com.
