Greetings All:
Sorry for the belated posting. Herb Dingmann found two first county records yesterday, a Say's Phoebe near Preston and a White-winged Dove in Lewiston. The Say's Phoebe was found around 12:15 pm at the pond 2.5 miles south and 1 mile east of Preston in Fillmore County. The phoebe was seen by several observers up until about 3:00 pm when it disappeared.
Herb later found a White-winged Dove in Lewiston around 4:30 pm north of the water tower at the community services center. The dove was relocated by Chris Benson around 6:30 pm briefly near the intersection of Williams and Rice streets. It was seen for a period of maybe five minutes by four observers. The bird again disappeared, and to my knowledge, was never refound.
I am aware that there will be at least four observers looking for the dove this morning. If I hear that the phoebe or dove are relocated, I will post as soon as possible.
I apologize in advance for any inaccuracies in this posting.
