Here's a message FYI.
I went to Seattle for the Mariners-Red Sox game Friday. About the only
birds I saw of interest were a Green Heron flying over interchange 95
south of Olympia on I-5 and a California Gull in the water at Pier 59 in
downotwn Seattle.
Had a first flock of Cedar Waxwings on the Clark Campus this
morning--looked like about 40 birds. Fall is upon us.
Also, thanks to whomever put the disk copy of the Excel template
of North American birds in my mailbox at Clark this morning. It's much
appreciated!!!

Jeff Harding called me today. He, Bill Thackaberry and John Crowell walked
out Leadbetter Point, Washington Sunday August 20.

On the grassy depression between Grassy Island and the point was an Upland
Sandpiper, a very uncommon bird along the coast.

Shorebirding was rather slow but they did find besides the Upland an
American Golden-Plover, 4 Pectoral Sandpipers, and about 150 Black-bellied
Plovers.
