Tweets,
I case anybody listened to the birdbox and was considering going tomorrow
for the Solitary Sandpipers mentioned, here is an update.
The Elma Solitary was nowhere to be found.

The two reported in Olympia were still present this evening.
To reach this location, Take the Black Lake blvd. exit as mentioned
earlier and follow the directions to the Percival storm ponds, except do
not park at the chain link fence area, an easier way is to continue around
the road and you will see a gated gravel road, park here and walk in. One
of the Solitaries likes to hang out on a little spit at the upper end of
the pond. Also birds of interest included 3 cinnamon teal, once you come
to the pond walk right and pass over a concrete spillway.
This is a great place to bird, truly impressed.
Thanks,
