On 22 Mar Bob Flores found an EURASIAN GREEN-WINGED TEAL with 50 regular
Green-winged Teal at the intersection, so to speak, of Crab Creek and Corfu
Road, just before you reach lower Crab Creek Road in Grant Co WA. WA DeLorme
53, B-5.

Also on 22 Mar, Keith Carlson reports an immature TRUMPETER SWAN on the
Clearwater River opposite the Potlatch mill in Lewiston, Nez Perce Co ID.
Also present in that locale was a GLAUCOUS GULL.

Scott Downes reports several good birds near Vantage, Kittitas Co WA on 26
Mar. A single PACIFIC LOON was seen north of the ginko overlook. Further
south, at Wanapum Dam State Park, were 2 LONG-TAILED DUCKS. WA DeLorme 52,
A-1.

That same day Scott reports 75 or so TRI-COLORED BLACKBIRDS in the big
blackbird flock at Para Ponds, northwest of Othello, Adams Co WA. From
Othello go north on Broadway (west end of town extending north from WA 24)
past the processing and storage facilities. When the road crosses the RR
tracks it becomes McManamon Road. Continue across the canal and down the
hill past the two potato sheds. The Para Ponds are just beyond on both sides
of the road. WA DeLorme 53, B-7.


Good birding.
