Saturday, June 6, 10:22 pm: Hi. This is Steve Mlodinow.For the rest of the
day, after the IBIS, our only highlight was a LAZULI BUNTING. This bird was in
a field next to the Sulton Chevron/Burger King Station. This establishment is
just east of Sulton on US 2 and just east of the buildings there is a hill
with some scotch broom and a couple of scattered trees. The BUNTINGS were seen
there. The BUNTINGS were absent from their usual site up Kellog Lake Road.
Thats it. Good luck and good birding.

Saturday, June 6, 4:10 pm: This is Kim Ystrada. (206) 762-2366. Yesterday,
June 5th, at Tennessee (?) Meadows, I saw 3 WESTERN KINGBIRDS.

Saturday, June 6, 8:47 am: Hi. This is Steven Mlodinow. Today, Dennis Huffy,
Sid Peterson and I had a WHITE-FACED IBIS at the Monroe Prison Dairy Farm
pond, off of 203 after heading south from Monroe. It is visible from the
highway. Be careful when you pull off as the shoulder ain't that big.
Unfortunately the bird did fly off heading vaguely to the southwest. None the
less it may still be in the area and there may be other eastern type birds
around as well. Good luck and good birding.

tide at Titon (?) Road. Also out there was a TUNDRA SWAN and a couple of

Tuesday, June 2nd, 7:57 am: Hello, this is Wayne Weaver, (604) 597-7201 with
a couple of bird sightings from May 31st. I found a location for GRAY
FLYCATCHERS on Badger Mountain, south of Waterville in Douglas County. Not
sure of how unusual this is but if anybody else wants to find at least 2 GRAY
FLYCATCHERS on the Delorme Atlas it looks this is the Ruud Canyon Road. That
is Ruud not Rude. Just northwest of the Junction Of Bow SW. The way I got
there coming up the McGillis Canyon, the Badger Mountain road up McGillis
Canyon which is mostly paved and the road which is marked Bow SW in the atlas
is shown as R SW on the sign. That becomes Lupine Lane anyway. Keep left on
this road until it hits a more major road that is Ruud Canyon Road. One of the
2 GRAY FLYCATCHERS which was singing persistantly was about 2/10th of a mile
down the Rudd Canyon Road from the junction with Bow SW. The only other
sighting of interest I had was at the Bridgeport bar in the Wells Wildlife
Area at the causeway onto the Bridgeport bar from Bow Road ,very close to the
causeway were a pair of RED-BREASTED MERGANZERS, the male in full breeding
plumage. Thats it for now.

Monday, June 1st, 3:08 pm: This is Stewart Mexler (206) 526-1980. Yesterday,
Sunday, May 31st I saw an EASTERN KINGBIRD on top of a Lombardi Poplar tree in
Mertyl-Edwards Park by the waterfront just north of the grain elevator.
