Birding Montana this June (1 Viewer)

HI there,

I'm a birder from the UK. I've been to the ABA area on lots of occasions but never to the US states of Montana and Washington.

I'll be driving from Yellowstone to Seattle in late June and would be interested in seeing the following species most which would all be life birds for me:

Dusky Grouse
Mountain Pygmy Owl
Northern Saw-whet Owl
Varied Thrush (I've seen a leucistic one in the UK but never a normal plumaged bird)
The Slate-coloured form of Fox Sparrow (treated as a full species by IOC)

Any help with good sites for these species would be gratefully received. I understand that June isn't the best month to be looking for grouse and owls but it has to fit in with other plans for the trip.

Best wishes

Ian Lewis
