The following interesting birds have been recently reported in Spokane
County.

Good numbers (60) of PINE GROSBEAKS are around the Little Spokane River.
Try the Painted Rocks Trail.

A few COMMON REDPOLLS have been reported at the confluence of the Little
Spokane River, Dec 30, and at the Silver Lake boat launch, Jan 1.

A CROW (assume COMMON) was at the Mt Spokane condos Jan 1 for an apparent
first ever for the State Park.

A flock of 800 to 1,000 BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS was near the Indian Hills Golf
Course Dec 30.

The Dec 30, Spokane CBC produced at least 81 species including ROCK WREN,
LONG-BILLED MARSH WREN, VIRGINIA RAIL, SNOW GOOSE, WHITE-CR SPARROW,
SAW-WHET, SHORT-EARED, BARN & PYGMY OWLS.

A SAY'S PHOEBE was at Spangle Jan 4. I'd vote for it being a wintering
bird.

The Spokane group ended at 247 species for 2006 in what must have been the
most birding effort ever in the county.

Good Birding in 2007!
