Monday we returned from a 5 day trip with our daughter to visit our grandson in Coeur d’Alene. Even though birding was definitely secondary, we had some very good birding experiences. Here are the birding highlights. On the first day we saw a Common Nighthawk on a fence rail near the entry to the Wild Horse Renewable Energy Center. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ljcouple/55351975223/in/dateposted/ On day two we drove to Soap Lake to see Black-necked Stilts before heading to Coeur d’Alene. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ljcouple/55354350210/in/dateposted/ On the way to Soap Lake we came upon a Burrowing Owl perched on a rock very close to the side of the road. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ljcouple/55353931181/in/dateposted/ On day 4 we headed to Moses Lake from Coeur d’Alene and stopped at Sprague Lake, a new hotspot for us, and saw two Western Grebes “walking on water”. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ljcouple/55355509476/in/dateposted/ On day 5 we stopped to bird a little near Ellensburg. At Woodhouse Loop, 12 American Pelicans flew overhead. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ljcouple/55358540016/in/dateposted/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/ljcouple/55358738069/in/photostream/ A very cooperative Swainson’s Hawk perched near Tjossem Pond https://www.flickr.com/photos/ljcouple/55357594154/in/dateposted/ and a California Quail found a safe place to perch. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ljcouple/55357548688/in/photostream/ Photo album for trip. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ljcouple/albums/72177720334364159/ eBird trip report. https://ebird.org/tripreport/540549 Hank & Karen Heiberg Issaquah hankheiberggmail _______________________________________________ Tweeters mailing list <Tweeters...> http://mailman11.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/tweeters
