Hello,

I made a quick trip up to Chewelah today to check out the flooded fields
hoping for shorebirds. I did find some shorbirds, but also some other birds
of interest.

Cottonwood Creek Rd: Sora (calling everywhere), Least Sandpiper. Long
billed Dowitcher, Black Tern.

Farm to Market Rd (.3 north of Newton Rd); Clark's Nutcrackers, Calliope
Hummingbird, adult GOLDEN EAGLE - flyng leisurely along the cliff. I have
had them here four or five times before. Nesting?

Newton Rd: 2 LEWIS'S WOODPECKERS - about 1/2 mi west of intersection of Hwy
395 and 231, in dead Pines, in fenced in horse pen - adjacent to a gray
trailer, north side of road.

Long Prairie STP: Wilson's Phalarope:

Little Sweden Rd: Western Screech Owl, Red naped Sapsucker, BLACK BACKED
WOODPECKER (200 yards past "Fitpatrick Mountain Ranch" on the far side of a
marsh in old burned trees), Soras, Cassin's Vireo, Orange crowned,
Nashville, Yellow, Yellow Rumped, Macgillivray's, and Townsend's Warblers,
Ruffed Grouse.
