Three reports of EURASIAN COLLARED-DOVES:

In Adams Co WA on 5 Jun Bruce Labar and Marcus Roening found one in
Washtucna and observed it at a bird feeder one short block west of WA 260
and 1.5 blocks north of Sonny's cafe.

In Nez Perce Co ID on 14 Jun Bryan Jamison found one at Mann Lake near
Lewiston. The bird was near the grain elevators on the west end of the lake.
To get there from US 12 on the north end of Lewiston, cross the Clearwater
River and at the first traffic light head up the 21st Street hill. Follow it
as it becomes Thain. When Thain goes from 4 lanes to 2, turn left onto
Powers Avenue. Follow Powers about 3 miles until you reach the grain
elevators at the lake. ID DeLorme 54, A-1.

The third bird was along the Crab Creek Trail at Columbia NWR near Othello,
Grant Co WA according to Randy Hill. Seen early in the morning, it wasn't
relocated later in the day. The Crab Creek Trail starts from a parking lot
immediately south of Marsh Unit 1 and the graveled portion loops back. The
trail also extends (somewhat discreetly) south and eventually ties in near
the start of the Frog Lake and Marsh Trails. The dove was calling from an
area about 100 yards beyond (south of) the graveled portion and at the west
edge of the floodplain.

Gene Lynch reports a BAND-TAILED PIGEON on 12 Jun in the Spokane Valley,
Spokane Co WA. The bird was seen along 13th Ave between Blake and MacDonald.

The female BROAD-TAILED HUMMINGBIRD report a few weeks ago is persisting
near Dixie, Walla Walla Co WA according to Mike and MerryLynn Denny. The
bird was still visiting a feeder as of 12 Jun. The bird is frequenting
feeders at the home of Tom Lambs. His "Hummingbird Crossing" is south of
Dixie about 2 miles down Biscuit Ridge Road on the right. If you reach
Seaman Road that heads off to the left you have gone too far. It's the house
behind you on the right.

On 11 Jun Jerry Cebula reports a calling COMMON POORWILL at the confluence
of Asotin and Lick creeks in Asotin Co WA.

More LEAST FLYCATCHER sightings: Coyote Grade, Nez Perce Co ID.

Good birding.
