Tweeters,

I found the link listed below on the Inland Northwest birding list. I
thought it might be of interest to anyone in the area. This 1st cycle bird
looks very good for a first cycle Slaty-backed. I'm not positive, it would
be nice to have photos of the spread wing and rump, but it looks really
good. If anyone sees for this bird, photograph the heck out of it!
