When we were watching the rainbow the previous evening, we ran into some birders walking the shoreline of Lake Pond Oreille. They had seen a Baird's Sandpiper at Sandy Beach and so we started our travel day with a detour across the bridge. The sandpiper was very cooperative and flew onto the beach just as we approached the water.

The only other interesting find of the day was a Great Blue Heron fishing along a fast stretch of the Salmon River. Steve thought it might have been some other interesting bird.

Nope - just a GBH, but in a different kind of habitat than where we usually spot them.
