Least Flycatcher

I had a LEAST FLYCATCHER Sunday morning, singing incessantly at the bottom of Coyote Grade Rd. This was between stops 1 and 2 of my "Joel" BBS route so I didn't really have much time to check it out. It was in shade trees around the farm house right at the bottom of the grade near where is intersects U.S. 12 (east of Lewiston along theClearwater River). Be aware that there are dogs around the farm house that will create a commotion if you go looking for this bird. Other species of interest along the bottom few miles of Coyote Grade:

  • COMMON NIGHTHAWK
  • WESTERN KINGBIRD
  • ROCK WREN
  • YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT
  • BULLOCK'S ORIOLE

** note: this is a species which appears to be expanding rapidly in the inland northwest
