Leaders: Keith Carlson and Rick Welle

This all-day trip is geared toward all levels of birders.  The Lewiston/Clarkston (LC) Valley often has slightly more moderate temperatures in winter, which can make for some great winter birding. We will meet in Lewiston at 8:00AM at the Dyna Mart at the traffic light just past the bottom of the Lewiston Grade. Come prepared for winter weather; bring snacks, water, and lunch.  Contact Alan McCoy at ahm2352@gmail.com or by phone at 509-999-9512 by January 22 to register for the trip. Keith’s cell number is 208-413-2071.

Note:  This trip will be dependent on weather and road conditions.

Target Species: A variety of waterfowl (hopeful target: Long-tailed Duck), winter gulls including possible Lesser Black-backed and Thayer’s (now Iceland Gull), Black-crowned Night-Herons, chase-able Snowy Owl and/or Gyrfalcon (if reported), owls, wintering warblers, sparrows, and finches, including Gray-crowned Rosy-Finches.
