On Tuesday (5/27/08), Jon Isacoff and I birded half a
day in southern Pend Oreille County. It was a lovely,
sunny, spring day, and birding activity was generally
good.

Some of the highlights included WESTERN KINGBIRDs
along the county line meadows on Allen Road as well as
one in Cusick, BLACK-NECKED STILT & AMERICAN AVOCETs
along the shoreline of Calispell Lake, a BANK SWALLOW
colony south of Dalkena, BOBOLINKS around Caispell
Lake and Cusick Meadows, WHITE-BREASTED NUTHATCH at
Calispell Lake, and MACGILLIVRAY'S WARBLER & ROCK WREN
at Lake of the Woods.

Jon's EBird report extract is listed below.
