4:59 p.m. October 29th - Hello, this is Patrick Sullivan along with Ruth
Sullivan reporting from Tacoma, Washington, at area code 206-564-7419. On
Point No Point at Hansville in Kitsap County three [WESTERN] SCRUB-JAYS
and two NORTHERN SHRIKE were observed. At the south end of Sequim Bay one
TUNDRA SWAN was observed. And finally at Ediz Hook in Clallam County one
LAPLAND LONGSPUR and two ROCK SANDPIPERS were noted. Thank you. Good
luck and good birding!

9:08 a.m. October 30th - Hi. Tom Aversa, phone 206-782-7342, reporting
from Tokeland. I've got a LARK BUNTING here. It's right at the
intersection of 105 and Tokeland Road, on the right there in a little dirt
road, right next to a burnt-out car. And it is associating kind of
loosely with juncos and there's a CHIPPING SPARROW there also in pretty
close to breeding plumage. If anyone's in the area you might want to
check it out. Thanks. Good luck.

1:50 p.m. October 30th - Hi. This is Bob Morse from Olympia,
360-943-8600. The female LARK BUNTING was observed again at a little
after one o'clock on Wednesday, sitting in the middle of the road
described in the previous recorded message.

5:10 p.m. October 30th - Hi. This is Paul Cozens from 935-0561. I just
got a message from a lady in Northeast Tacoma. She has had a SNOWY OWL on
her roof since 8:30 this morning. It is now about five o'clock. Her
address is 5001 Tower Drive NE. That's in the Harbor Ridge Estates area
of Northeast Tacoma, at the corner of Tower Drive NE and Orca. Thanks.
Bye.
