For those who may interested I completed the Little Pend Oreille BBS earlier this week. I had the following 80 species. Pretty much the usual birds. A couple of notable species though. The first Mountain Bluebird since I have been doing the count. We do have a pair in one of the boxes near headquarters that has generally been the domain of westerns. Also, the first Eurasian Collared-dove for the route. It may be the first but it was not unexpected. Like everywhere else in the country they are on the increase around here. Since the last few points are off the refuge in farm land I am not surprised one finally showed up for count day.
