Below is a list of all the Benewah County Birds that I have records for. This is our first Benewah County Big Year. We'll see how many of these species we can come up with. Call Shirley 664-5318 or e-mail shirley.sturts@gmail.com to get credit for being the first to see a species for the year. Also report any species not on this list, or any species that is marked rare or accidental (include documentation).
