2006 BONNER COUNTY BIRDING
BIG YEAR
Compiled by Lisa Hardy
Bonner
County in Idaho's Panhandle hosts a wide range of habitats, from alpine
landscapes above 6000' in the Selkirks and Cabinets, to Idaho's deepest lake,
Pend Oreille. With no regular reporters from the county, a respectable 175
species were noted for the 2005 Big Year. Bonner County has the potential to
turn up a similar number of species (~200) as its neighbor to the south,
Kootenai County, if it were as heavily birded. Sandpoint, on Lake Pend
Oreille's northwest shore, has hosted a disproportionate number of state
rarities, in part due to location, but also due to the skills of expert birder
Earl Chapin. Robert Bond, expert birder and summer resident at Priest
Lake, has also added several rare
species to the list.
If you visit Bonner County this year, check
the list below and see if you can add to it, or beat any already posted dates.
Send your reports to Lisa Hardy 682-4808 or basalt@earthlink.net.

OCCURANCE CATEGORIES
( c ) COMMON: Found every year, often
seasonal, in many areas, in high to moderate numbers and some searching in
appropriate areas may be required.
( u ) UNCOMMON: Found every year, often
seasonal, in limited areas, in small numbers, and may require repeated search
attempts in more specific areas.
( s ) SCARCE: Found most years, but
difficult. Either very specialized and local in distribution; difficult to
distinguish from similar, more common species; or only passes through briefly
on migration.
( r ) RARE: Not seen every year, mostly
irregular, some periodic.
( # ) ACCIDENTAL: Just a few total
sightings with a low expectation of being found in the future.
