6:37AM Nov 14 - Vic Nelson. On Nov 13th I saw 10 Western Bluebirds in a field
off Minda Road which is four miles north of Poulsbo off of Highway 307, also
known as Bond Road. The birds were about a half mile down Minda Road on the
right side past the last house.

3:15PM Nov 14 - Steve Dang, 368-6887. This report was a sighting that was
called in to Seattle Audubon today at about 1:30, I guess. A Snowy Owl at
3049 NE 94th. The bird appears to be a young bird. It has a lot of mottling
on it and it's sitting on top of someones roof. It also appears to have a
problem with its right eye. Anyway, the bird has been there, I guess, from
mid morning or so.

5:55PM Nov 14 - This is Bill Shelmerdine 866-9106 and yesterday morning there
was a first winter Black-legged Kittiwake working the channel west of Boston
Harbor and that is a few miles north of downtown Olympia. Good luck and good
birding.

7:45PM Nov 14 - Paul Hicks here calling from Tenino (360) 264-2462. Today the
14th at the Nisqually area going west of the boat ramp at Nisqually Reach
there was one Eurasian Wigeon, no Snowy Owls seen. At the barns where the
egret had previously been reported by Patrick, it was on the other side of
the freeway today and that's accessible at the exit going to old highway 99
westbound on Martin Way into town. There's a little bridge with a private
driveway and there you can look into the field towards the freeway and it has
been in there as well.
