10:11 p.m. October 23rd - This is Carolee Coulter, 206-723-4040 and in
Tokeland today I saw a PACIFIC GOLDEN-PLOVER at the little beach by the
marina in the company of four WHIMBREL. Also saw two WILLETS. And at
Westport on the previous day at the jetty I saw the ROCK SANDPIPERS, two
of them, in company with some BLACK TURNSTONES.

8:43 a.m. October 24th - Hi. Alisa Brooks here and I live at 14th and
West Bertona on Queen Anne in Seattle, near Interbay and Ballard south of
the Ballard Bridge, and we've had a [WESTERN] SCRUB-JAY in the area for
about a week now and he's been hanging around in our yard and kinda making
the rounds, so... [message cut off].

8:53 a.m. October 24th - Hi. Alisa Brooks. I left an earlier message
about a [WESTERN] SCRUB-JAY in our yard. I'd wanted to be more specific.
I live at 1401 West Bertona and there is an area here where the street
ends, and there's a little green area where the street doesn't go through
down to 15th, so that's the area that I'm talking about for the scrub jay
that we've been seeing here for the last week. If you listen to the last
message that's what I've been seeing.

7:18 p.m. October 24th - This is Ruth Sullivan, 564-7419. Today on Ocean
Shores birds of interest. Damon Point 15 PACIFIC GOLDEN-PLOVER and four
PECTORAL SANDPIPERS. Also everywhere masses of DUNLIN. Three WESTERN
[SANDPIPERS?] on the game range in a flock of 25 (...?...) on the game
range one single DUNLIN in high breeding plumage. On Bill's Spit 25
MARBLED GODWIT, two LONG-BILLED CURLEW. Thank you. Good birding! Bye.

9:11 p.m. October 24th. Hi. Tom Aversa here at 206-782-7342. Few birds
at Ocean Shores today. There was a lot of grounded shorebirds with that
storm it seemed. Mostly of note there was at least 28 PECTORAL
SANDPIPERS, 13 SEMIPALMATED PLOVER, 24 RED KNOTS probably all juveniles.
Some were right down on the golf course, birds that had just (...?...)
there was lots of DUNLINS and BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS. Also of note maybe
some CANVASBACKS (about 16), 13 GREATER WHITE-FRONT[ED GEESE], also two
drake REDHEADS at Hoquiam sewage pond.
