    Thank you for listening and for your help. I obviously haven't heard something like this before either. If you're interested, take a look at my reply to Andr3w for a bit more. Take care.

    Owl Help? McLellan Conservation Area - Spokane Co. WA, USA

    Since you last replied a local owl expert listened and has no doubt about the Flammulated Owl ID. I'll take a look at the spectrogram again considering the pitch issue. Thank you so much for your help with this one! I've been perplexed too. I have heard Flammulated Owls in May and June "singing"...

    Owl help please - Spokane County, WA, USA

    Hello, I recorded owls on October 9, 2022 at McLellan Conservation Area in Spokane County, Washington State. I've attached the sound file but am unsure of the ID of what sounds like as many as three owls, two for sure. Suggestions to date have included Spotted Owl, but that seems impossible...

    Owl Help? McLellan Conservation Area - Spokane Co. WA, USA

    Hi! Thank you for your help. I have attached four spectrogram images. At the 5.2 second mark, is the main call that is repeated many times. There's a chatter type call at the 22.5 second mark and another different sequence at the 26.5 second mark. The one from 33 seconds on has another image of...

    Unusual Owl Spokane County, Washington State

    I have attached a recording of an unusual owl I heard at the McLellan Conservation Area in Spokane County, Washington State, USA. The Cornell Bioacoustic online analysis tool gives a 100% probability that it is a Spotted Owl, which would be, I believe, unprecedented so far east of the Cascade...

    Owl Help? McLellan Conservation Area - Spokane Co. WA, USA

    I captured the attached recording at McLellan Conservation Area in Spokane County, Washington right after sunset. I didn't recognize it in the field. With analysis apps I'm getting Spotted Owl, Barred Owl, and Flammulated Owl. Spotted seems impossible in this location. I'm not sure about it. Can...

    Gull ID Help Please - Riverfront Park, Downtown, Spokane, WA, USA

    I got one historical record from 1974 in Spokane County. So, Precedented, yes! Super rare, and an amazing find if this is indeed a Glaucous-winged Gull. Are you calling it? Definitely Glaucous-winged?

    Gull ID Help Please - Riverfront Park, Downtown, Spokane, WA, USA

    Butty wondered "why not Glaucous-winged Gull?" So, I've researched more and am agreeing and thinking first-winter Glaucous-winged Gull. Can anyone else help confirm or deny? Thanks!

    Gull ID Help Please - Riverfront Park, Downtown, Spokane, WA, USA

    I agree. I didn't think Herring or Glaucous. I thought Iceland or Glaucous-winged. As to "why not?", I guess it's just the rarity. Iceland would be only the fourth county record, and Glaucous-winged has only super old historical records. My friend and I are relatively new birders, and we just...

    Gull ID Help Please - Riverfront Park, Downtown, Spokane, WA, USA

    Hi, I'm looking for help identifying this gull a friend of mine saw in Riverfront Park in downtown Spokane, Washington, USA yesterday. We're at a loss to specify it but have considered Iceland, Glaucous, Glaucous-winged, and Herring. All of these are rarities in Spokane. Glaucous and...

    Spokane County, WA Gull Help #2

    It might be an aberration or dirt on the bill tip. Others have suggested the latter, and that makes sense to me. Thanks!

    Spokane County, WA Gull Help #2

    Is this a Lesser Black-backed Gull? Again, as with the bird in my last post, this would be exceptionally rare for Spokane County, WA. I saw this bird at 47.884860, -117.683185. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    Is this an Iceland Gull? This would be a very rare bird for Spokane County. I saw it at 47.884860, -117.683185. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
