Larry Hamrin found a SURF SCOTER in Lewiston, Nez Perce Co ID on 18 Nov. The
bird was in the small levee pond just east of the big levee pond along the
US 12 bypass. The bird was still being seen on 26 and 28 Nov. To get there
from the north end of Lewiston, follow US 12 across the Clearwater River and
then stay right past the first traffic light. At the next light, which is
18th Street, turn right and follow the bypass 1 mile to the railroad bridge
that crosses the river and road. This is the big levee pond, or West Pond.
The scoter was in the small pond due east. ID DeLorme 54, A-1.

On Nov 27 Craig and Judy Corder and Gina Sheridan found a male and female
WHITE-WINGED SCOTER on the Pend Oreille River just north of Dalkena, Pend

On 20 Nov an adult THAYER'S GULL was on the docks at the Beach House
Restaurant on Coeur d'Alene Lake Drive, 1.3 miles from the intersection with

according to Mike Haldeman. Michael and Roger Woodruff found 2 THAYER'S
