Terry,

?

The Manressa Grotto cave is directly across the Pend Oreille River from the Cusik unit of the LPO NWR . I don't suppose you saw these birds cross the river by any chance?

Subject: [Tweeters] Hoary Redpoll in Pend Oreille County




Hello,

This morning my son Joshua and I found what appears to be county first HOARY REDPOLL in Pend Oreille . The bird was in with a flock of Common Redpolls about head high 15 feet from us. The location is along LeClerc Rd in the Kalispell Indian Reservatio , Across the road from the " Manresa Grotto" there is a parking area near the edge of the Pend Oreille River. The Hoary was in with a flock of Commons feeding in this spot. We were greeted with Common Redpolls nearly everywhere we stopped. beginning at the corner?of Kirkpatrick and Milan Farms Rd. There is also a Cassin's Finch coming into the feeder here.

Other good birds were?a Cackling Goose along Allen Rd, Bohemian Waxwings and a Pileated Woodpecker at River Bend.

Blessings
