The Spokane Co WA GREAT-TAILED GRACKLE continues to be seen. From I-90 about
15 miles east of Spokane, take the Liberty Lake. Turn south one block to the
light. Turn left, go to the stop sign. Turn right on Molter Road and head
one block to the intersection of Valleyway and Molter. The grackle can
usually be seen or heard from the intersection. It likes to roost in the
very thick trees nearby. So, if you don't see it, park with windows down and
listen for the eerie calls of which some sound similar to Brewer's
Blackbirds which it hangs out with. Thanks to Ron Dexter for the directions.
WA DeLorme 88, C-8.
On 22 Apr Dennis Paulson spied the LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL that has been
residing at lake Lenore in Grant Co WA. Lake Lenore is along WA 17 between
Soap Lake and Coulee City. WA DeLorme 68, A-4 on the crease and 84 and 85,
D-4 and 5.
Several very late SNOWY OWLS were reported. Bob Flores and Mike and
MerryLynn Denny saw one along O'Sullivan Dam at the south end of Potholes
Reservoir, Grant Co WA on 21 Apr. On 22 Apr the Denny's found 3 more in
Douglas Co WA. The first was along Dyer Hill Road, and two more were spied
east along Road 28 NW.
On 22 Apr Mike and MerryLynn Denny found an EURASIAN COLLARED-DOVE near
milepost 12.5 along WA 17 in Franklin Co, WA, just north of Merion Road.
Good birding.
