Hi Tweets,

Today at Perch Point on Potholes Reservoir there were two juvenile
Black-bellied Plovers and one Semipalmated Plover. Several Long-billed
Dowitcher and a crippled Western Sandpiper were also present.
At Lind Coulee were three juvenile and one adult Pectoral Sandpiper. Also
present was the single juvenile Franklin's Gull which has been around for
several weeks.
Potholes State Park had the usual land bird migrants for this time of year.
Yellow-rumped 'Audubon's' Warbler dominated with a few Orange-crowned
Warblers, several Warbling Vireos were also seen. Townsend's Solitaire,
Cedar Waxwing, and several Western Tanagers also fed in the Russian-olives.
A bonus was a nice Great Horned Owl, which flew into the tree I was standing
under and posed for pictures.

Cheers
