Tweets - I passed through Grant, Franklin, and Adams counties on Thursday
and Friday on my way to Missoula. Nothing too dramatic was seen, partly
because I didn't have much time to bird.

Highlights:

1 OSPREY
The ponds were COMPLETELY EMPTY of birds except for 3 killdeer.

At Scootney Reservoir, Thursday night and early Friday morning, I had:
About 7 Long-billed Dowitcher
About 60 Sandhill Cranes
1 Great Egret
Barn Owl (s?) heard all night
Jupiter and its moons, and lots of stars

At Hatton Coolee Rest Area:
Lesser Yellowlegs
1 Baird's Sandpiper
1 Western Sandpiper
About a dozen Long-billed Dowitchers
Lots of American Pipits

A gazillion Yellow-rumped Warblers
1 Hermit Thrush
