September 1, 1999, Wednesday, 4:17 p.m. Hello, this is Scott Atkinson,
(425) 210-1428. There was a clear movement of birds associated with the
passage of a cold front over night and this morning I had several good birds
up in southern Skagit County. First, at the west end of Mann Road near the
Skagit Game Range Headquarters, there was a flock of about 300 SWALLOWS
perched on telephone wires. Most of these were first year VIOLET GREENS,
but there was a BANK SWALLOW among them. This area seems to be fairly
reliable for staging SWALLOWS at this time of year. Then at the Skagit Game
Range there were less migrants than reported by Steve Mlodinow a couple of
days ago, but still several notables. The highlight was a salicicola's form
of a VEERY seen on the outermost part of the loop trail where it comes out
in the open flats. I watched the bird from some hardhack thickets and it
perched briefly in a low alder before flying eastward. It was associated
with a loose flock of SWAINSON'S THRUSHES and at first glance was
reminiscent of one of those, but it had no eye ring. It's face was entirely
dark and had lighter gray flanks and just in general appeared very light
across the flank. Other birds of note from the Game Range included an
OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER, my first MacGILLIVRAY'S WARBLER of the fall and a
summer late RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRD. There was numbers of various common
migrants: 15 to 20 ORANGE-CROWNED and YELLOW WARBLERS each, 6 WILLOWS and
other things. Then moving on, there is a new access apparently just east of
Jensen which seems to be fairly promising. People interested in the access
should watch for a public parking sign on the south side of Fir Island Road
at the last group of houses on both sides of the road just before, that is
east of the sharp 90-degree bend in Fir Island Road. There's a sign on the
north side of the road that is in red letters that says "cut flowers for
sale." From the access point you can go in about 1.2 miles quickly
ascending up on the dike before you come to a no trespassing sign that seems
to mark the end to the public access. The road goes along several sloughs
and inlets. Today at this site I had an AMERICAN AVOCET with about 15
GREATER YELLOWLEGS, a pair of CINNAMON TEAL on a pond behind the dike in
with various other dabbling ducks, a BAIRD'S SANDPIPER, a PECTORAL
SANDPIPER, and a LAPLAND LONGSPUR. They were all together, about 12
shorebird species in the area. Finally, at the public boat launch at the
south end of Lake McMurray east of Conway, just off Route 534, I had a
RED-EYED VIREO in with various passerine migrants there. That's all.

September 2, 1999, Thursday, 4:45 p.m. Michael Preba, (206) 623-7798. I
birded Edmonds this morning. There were a couple of good birds. Most
notably on the breakwater where it intersects the Edmonds fishing pier at
the marina, there was a WANDERING TATTLER. Also at Brackett's Landing while
the tide was still low earlier in the morning, there were 2 BLACK
TURNSTONES. Thanks. Good luck.

September 2, 1999, Thursday, 7:00 p.m. This is Hal Opperman calling from
Ocean Shores with JoLynn Edwards. Home phone number (425) 635-0503. Today,
around 6 o'clock in the afternoon, we found a BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER on
Damon Point along the south shore of the pond near the west end and in short
vegetation along the shore, away from the shore a bit. Also, 1 PECTORAL
SANDPIPER, numerous BAIRD'S and LEASTS. Along Damon Point Road on the north
side in grass, west of the pond, 1 LAPLAND LONGSPUR, and around 5:00 p.m. at
Bill's Spit there was a flock of 30 to 40 LONG-BILLED CURLEWS and MARBLED
GODWITS. Thank you.

September 3, 1999, Friday, 9:06 a.m. Hello, this Wayne Weber, area code
(250) 377-8865 with some bird sightings from August 30th through September
1st from Jefferson and Clallam Counties. Nothing earth-shaking, but on
August 30th at Ediz Hook at Port Angeles in near gale force winds there were
large numbers of birds feeding in the straight outside Ediz Hood. At least
300 HEERMANN'S GULLS among large numbers of other GULLS, at least 30
RHINOCEROS AUKLETS and 20 COMMON MURRES and at least 80 RED-NECKED
PHALAROPES in two or three groups. On August 31st at the ponds of Kitchen
Dick Road north of Sequim, there was one VIRGINIA RAIL and at least 4 adult
and 8 lovely calling young PIED-BILLED GREBES along with about 6 DUCK
species. Also on August 31st in Port Angeles harbor, there were 12
RED-NECKED GREBES. Things were quite quiet in Olympic National Park, but at
Marymere Falls Trail there were 4 VAUX'S SWIFTS still present. On September
1st at Three Crabs Restaurant vicinity, the numbers of shorebirds were kind
of disappointing, but there were some interesting birds. There were at
least 6 what appeared to be pure WESTERN GULLS among much larger numbers of
other GULLS. About 45 SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHERS and 10 LONG-BILLED
DOWITCHERS. The LONG-BILLS were in a freshwater pond east of Three Crabs.
There were also 3 VIRGINIA RAILS in the marsh area nearby and some late
SWALLOWS, at least 20 VIOLET-GREEN and 1 CLIFF SWALLOW along with BARN
SWALLOWS. At the Dungeness Oyster House on the other side of the Dungeness
River mouth there were at least 30 VIOLET-GREENS and 3 CLIFF SWALLOWS, 15
BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS, 20 SEMI-PALMATED PLOVERS and 8 SHORT-BILLED
DOWITCHERS. At the Keystone Ferry between Port Townsend and Keystone, this
is also on September 1st, there were at least 15 RED-NECKED PHALAROPES, 20
COMMON TERNS, one of which was being chased by a PARASITIC JAEGER. At the
little jetty at the ferry landing on Whidbey Island, there were 5 SURFBIRDS.
On the same ferry crossing on August 30th, I had about a 100 RHINOCEROS
AUKLETS and 15 RED-NECKED PHALAROPES, but no TERNS or JAEGERS, and there
were 3 SURFBIRDS present at the ferry landing on Whidbey Island on August
30th. That's it for now.

September 3, 1999, Friday, 11:58 a.m. This is Hal Opperman calling from
Ocean Shores with JoLynn Edwards. Home phone (425) 635-0503. After we told
Bill Smith about the BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER at the pond on Damon Point late
yesterday afternoon, he went out and found not only it, but also a RUFF.
JoLynn and I returned to the pond this morning around 9:00 o'clock and
couldn't relocate the BUFF-BREASTED, but we did find Bill's RUFF. It was on
the far side of the upper end of the pond, about 20 yards from the shore on
short, grassy vegetation at the edge of a patch of low willows. It is a
juvenile male with an unusually dark wash across the neck and upper breast.
A kind of brown color rather than pale buff. The only other shorebirds at
the pond were 2 PECTORALS and a few WESTERNS and LEASTS. Good birding.

September 3, 1999, Friday, 1:59 p.m. Hi, this is Tom Aversa, 782-7342,
reporting from a trip this past week to the Okanogan highlands, slightly
belated. On the way up we stopped at Soap Lake on the 31st, which I guess
was Tuesday, and most notably there were probably 4 juvenile SANDERLINGS.
Also, 3 RED-NECKED PHALAROPES and at least 400 EARED GREBES out on the lake.
Continued on up to Long Swamp in Okanogan National Forest. BOREAL
CHICKADEES right near Long Swamp camp there. Had at least 8 birds up, on
the way up to Freeze Out Ridge. Also about two and half miles above Long
Swamp is a big burn up there. We had a quite a WOODPECKER show: HAIRY,
nice male BLACK-BACKED, 2 THREE-TOES all feeding together and 4 SPRUCE
GROUSE right there in the burn also. Next morning, which was I guess the
1st, we had probably 2 different PYGMY OWLS calling right at Long Swamp. In
the Ellisforde area there were 4 SOLITARY SANDPIPERS down near the river,
just south of Oroville. Also, in that area a little bit further north,
there were 10 WHITE-THROATED SWIFTS and at least 6 NIGHTHAWKS flying with a
bunch of SWALLOWS. I saw those particularly in the mosquito infested
portion of the river. Also, 4 GRAY CATBIRDS and 2 BUNTINGS.

September 3, 1999, Friday, 6:27 p.m. Hello, this is Kraig Kemper, area code
(206) 789-9255 reporting for Thursday and Friday, September 2nd and
September 3rd. Thursday, September 2nd at the Montlake Fill in King County,
there were a couple migrants. One EASTERN KINGBIRD, 1 WILLOW FLYCATCHER, 1
HORNED LARK, 6 DOWITCHER, 2 WESTERN SANDPIPER and 4 LEAST SANDPIPER, and 4
ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER. This afternoon, September 3rd, a trip to Ocean
Shores at Damon Point at the pond on the west side of the pond I relocated
the male juvenile RUFF and near it was 1 WHIMBREL and it's at the north end
of the pond with 1 PECTORAL SANDPIPER. On the inland side of the bay, on
the other side of the road from the pond, were 2 BAIRD'S SANDPIPER, and at
the jetty 1 WANDERING TATTLER and 1 SPOTTED SANDPIPER and 3 SANDERLING along
with several RHINOCEROS AUKLET, COMMON MURRE, a few SOOTY SHEARWATERS and
PELICANS feeding off the jetty. Thank you.

September 4, 1999, Saturday, 2:15 p.m. My name is Carol Plaia, P-L-A-I-A.
I live in Redmond. My phone number is (425) 881-5484 and I wanted to report
that we have a totally albino SPARROW visiting our feeder. It's completely
white with red eyes and seems to be very healthy and active and very much a
part of the group that visits daily. Thank you.

September 4, 1999, Saturday, 6:20 p.m. Hi, this is Jim Flynn. My phone
number is (206) 772-5568. I led a field trip for Seattle Audubon today to
the Skagit Game Range and the undoubted highlight was a MAGNOLIA WARBLER.
This bird was seen about, oh, 10:30 this morning and to find this bird go
into the Game Range and where the road splits for the two parking lots, go
to the right. The one, the parking lot that is not near the boat ramp.
Follow the closest dike out towards the salt water and near the junction
with the dike that leads back towards the boat launch, the bird was seen in
that area on both sides of the dike. Quite bright bird, very bright yellow
underneath, bluish above and just a wonderful sighting. Thanks a lot.
Bye-bye.

September 4, 1999, Saturday, 6:38 p.m. Hi, this is Jim Flynn again. The
MAGNOLIA WARBLER was with a flock of ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS, YELLOW
WARBLERS, and WILSON'S WARBLERS, and few BLACK-CAPPED CHICKADEES. Just
thought I'd throw that in to help people find it. Thanks. Bye-bye.

September 5, 1999, Sunday, 4:58 p.m. This is Dennis Duffey just to update
on the WANDERING TATTLER that was reported in Edmonds on Thursday morning.
There's been WANDERING TATTLERS on the Edmonds breakwater for the last three
afternoons at high tide. Today there were two. Yesterday there was at
least one and Friday there were 2 WANDERING TATTLERS there. So, after noon
seems to be the best time to see these birds. Additionally, there's been a
PARASITIC JAEGER on the Edmonds waterfront the last two mornings, about 8:00
a.m. This is a light phase adult.

September 5, 1999, Sunday, 9:11 p.m. Hi, this is Sam Terry (206) 329-9038.
Friday, the 3rd and again today there was a flock of 8 HORNED LARKS at the
soccer field at Magnusson Park in Seattle. That's it. Good luck and good
birding.

September 6, 1999, Monday, 8:20 a.m. This is Vic Nelson at Point No Point
at the northeast tip of the Kitsap Peninsula. Yesterday there were at least
4 PARASITIC JAEGERS in the area in the morning and also a FRANKLIN'S GULL.
There's also lots of COMMON TERNS and RED-NECK PHALAROPES and also similar
birds here this morning, except I haven't seen a FRANKLIN'S GULL yet. Thank
you. Good-bye.

September 6, 1999, Monday, 8:52 p.m. Hello, this is Scott Atkinson. This
morning Ann Winsky and I covered the Skagit Game Range and areas nearby on
Fir Island. At the Game Range highlights included among many of the more
common migrants, 4 EMPIDONAX species, one of which was a DUSKY FLYCATCHER.
There were several WARBLER species including over 30 YELLOWS. Also the
first RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET and LINCOLN SPARROW of the season. At Wiley
Road, just north of the refuge, 7 TURKEY VULTURES and 2 AMERICAN PIPITS. At
the new access just east of Jensen, previously described a few messages
back, 5 CINNAMON TEAL, all females along a small slough, a PEREGRINE FALCON
and 2 very early SNOW GEESE in with a large flock of CANADAS on a plowed
field. A note on the new access. It has now been restricted with a parking
area very shortly visible as you enter from Fir Island, and no longer is
there access up on to the dike as previously reported. At Jensen, also a
PEREGRINE and 2 PECTORAL SANDPIPERS. That's it.

September 6, 1999, Monday, 10:29 p.m. Paul Hicks here, (360) 264-2462,
reporting for Monday, September 6th from the pond at Damon Point in Ocean
Shores. The RUFF was located again today by at least four parties that I
heard of from 12:30 on. I saw it at 2:00 o'clock. It was on the south side
on the pond, well off the shore in the broad, flat, grassy area, but before
you get to the taller dune grass. It was even with the 3 metal fence posts.
Also at the pond, 2 PECTORAL SANDPIPERS and a MARBLED GODWIT. Out on the
jetty, a PINK-FOOTED SHEARWATER, and I heard reports of 3 others off the
jetty. I also heard rumors of more than one RUFF being seen in the general
vicinity of Ocean Shores. That's it. Good luck.

September 8, 1999, Wednesday, 6:12 a.m. This is Douglas Marshall, area code
(206) 270-8960, with a late report for Saturday, the 4th of September, from
Oysterville on the Long Beach peninsula, Pacific County. I observed a
post-breeding plumaged adult RED KNOT. To reach this area, go north from
the oyster cannery on a path along the beach about 100 yards, and from there
you can observe a high spot where the shorebirds congregate. The RED KNOT
was in with BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS at approximately 2 hours after high tide.
I asked permission from personnel within the oyster cannery if we could walk
out there and they said sure, go ahead, but don't go too far out. So I
would suggest staying close to the shoreline at the high tide mark.

September 8, 1999, Wednesday, 8:47 p.m. Hi, Scott Downes, 361-7073. Today
Jason Starfire and I headed towards the coast. At our first stop at
Tokeland, the BAR-TAILED GODWIT remains. It was in with numerous GODWITS
and at least 16 WILLETS. At Ocean Shores, at the pond, the RUFF is still
there. Also in the Damon Point area were 6 PACIFIC GOLDEN PLOVERS, which
included one molting adult and 5 juveniles. Two very nice LONGSPURS there
in the short grass by the RUFF, but it should be noted we did see the RUFF
fly off into longer grass towards the tip of Damon Point, so the RUFF may at
times not frequent the pond. So numerous checks should be made back if the
RUFF is not seen. That's about it. Good luck and good birding.

September 10, 1999, Friday, 6:02 p.m. Hi, this is Steven Mlodinow. Today
on the WOS field trip, we had a BROWN THRASHER at the Wahluke Slope Wildlife
Management Area. This area is off of Highway 44, .1 mile east of mile
marker 3. This is on the DeLorme map, 53, C-5. Make right turn here.
There's actually a wildlife management area sign. Go 1.1 mile on this
gravel road and there is a sharp turn back to your right. Take that until
essentially that gravel road, until there is a no authorized vehicles only
sign. Park there. Continue down the road, maybe a hundred feet or a
hundred yards, and on the left there is a shallow, bowl-like area full of
thick brush and the THRASHER was in there with a number of SPARROWS. We
flushed it out, and actually chased it around for awhile, so it may have
moved a fair distance and you may want to bring several people to look for
this. Otherwise, today at Othello we had about 15 BAIRD'S SANDPIPERS, 15
PECTORAL SANDPIPERS and one STILT SANDPIPER. At Lind Coulee, off of the
east side of Potholes Reservoir, we had about 30 BAIRD'S SANDPIPERS, 8 PECS
and 2 SOLITARY. That's it. Good luck and good birding.

September 11, 1999, Saturday, 2:14 p.m. This is David Flood, area code
(206) 720-1560. This morning at Discovery Park on south meadow, I saw a
small flock, 5 or 6 birds of HORNED LARKS. Other than that, it was a
routine day at Discovery Park for me.

September 12, 1999, Sunday, 5:21 p.m. Hi, it's Steven Mlodinow. This
weekend my wife and I birded around the Skagit Game Range area and Whidbey
Island. Highlights all came from Crockett Lake today, including an AMERICAN
GOLDEN PLOVER, a LAPLAND LONGSPUR and a PECTORAL SANDPIPER. That's it.
Good luck and good birding.

September 13, 1999, Monday, 3:42 p.m. Howdy, my name is Gary Mozel. First
name G-A-R-Y, last name M-O-Z-E-L. I'm a naturalist at Woodland Park Zoo,
and I just wanted to let you know that today, meaning Monday, September 13,
1999, I saw a single SCRUB JAY here at Woodland Park Zoo in and around the
zoo between 2:45 and 3:00 in the afternoon. I got several good looks at
heard it vocalize several times and it's certainly a SCRUB JAY. So I
figured you'd appreciate knowing about it. I don't know, I know they've
been extending their range northward dramatically in recent years, in the
last few decades, but I don't know if there have been other Seattle
sightings. But we certainly had one here today on the 13th. If you need to
call me, my work number is (206) 684-4847 and my home number is (206)
632-9441. Thanks and keep up the good work.

September 13, 1999, Monday, 7:55 p.m. Hi, it's Steve Robinson, area (604)
535-1898. Late this afternoon, today the 6th of September, sorry the 13th,
I had 2 adult AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS at Blaine. They were on the tide
flats right on the edge of town along Peace-Portal Drive, which is the main
drag in town at the foot of Clark Street, and these 2 were just resting and
preening and so forth. That was as of 6 p.m. this evening the 13th. There
were also 3 MARBLED GODWITS over at Marine Park near the wharf. Thanks a
lot. Good birding.

September 14, 1999, Tuesday, 12:32 p.m. Hi, my name is Kristen Isles. I
visited Seward Park in Seattle on Friday and saw about 10 PARROTS in a flock
flying around. What you have to do is drive to the top of the park and
you'll see a parking lot in a large field to your right. The birds are
flying between the pine trees and a pair actually landed on a broken pine
and flew into or crawled into what looked like a nest in the tree and poked
its head out from the hole. If you - to find the tree, it is, I believe, in
between the parking lot and the driveway leading to the loop. I couldn't
identify what kind of PARROTS they were, but they definitely have the loud
noise and when looking through some binoculars, it looked like a cross
between an Eclectis(?) and an Amazon. So, I thought this was pretty unusual
and would report that they are - looked liked that they were nesting in the
pine that is in between the parking lot and the driveway. That is it.
Thanks a lot. My name is Kristen Isles. If you'd like to reach me, you can
do so at (425) 260-3751. Thanks.

September 14, 1999, Tuesday, 7:08 p.m. This is Bob Morse reporting from
Chelan where a BROAD-WINGED HAWK was observed well today and photographed at
the Cooper Mountain hawk watch site, north of Chelan. A BROAD-WINGED HAWK
was also observed last Saturday and 7 were seen from this site last year.
To get to the hawk watch site, take Highway 97 north out of Chelan, 4 miles,
and then take a left onto Apple Acres Road. Follow this road 5 miles and
take a left at Antoine Creek Road. This road starts off as a paved road,
but within a few miles becomes a dirt road that is passable with a passenger
vehicle. It does have some rough spots and a few exciting hair-pin turns.
Follow the main road approximately 18 miles to a T-intersection near the top
of Cooper Mountain. Go right and stay right until you get to 2 sani-cans on
the right about a mile from the intersection. Park here and follow the
flagged trail across the road approximately a half mile to a rock outcrop
and the hawk watch site. Best observer -- observations have been between 10
and 4:30 in the afternoon. Good luck.

September 15, 1999, Wednesday, 6:12 p.m. Hello, this is Scott Atkinson. I
was up in Skagit County this morning and had several good birds out of
almost 90 species. The highlight was a juvenile SHARP-TAILED SANDPIPER in
with a small group of PECS at the Jensen access. The bird was seen on the
flats and then flew about. A nice, vocal bird. Also at Jensen there was an
EARED GREBE out on the bay with HORNED GREBES and a HORNED LARK. Then at
the Brown, the new Brown slough access, this is just east of Jensen, just
east of the 90 degree bend in Fir Island Road from the parking area on the
field immediately to the east, a very large RED-WINGED (? garbled) BLACKBIRD
flock. It included a male YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD. Also in among the
roosting SANDPIPERS there, a single BAIRD'S and a single SEMI-PALMATED
SANDPIPER. Lastly, near the boat launch at Lake McMurray on the south side
of Highway 9 along the old railroad grade in the heavy riparian growth
there, a BARN OWL. That's all. Bye-bye.

September 16, 1999, Thursday, 6:32 p.m. This is Ed Swan at (253) 661-4023.
Today the 16th there was a PARASITIC JAEGER over Brown's Point in northeast
Tacoma chasing COMMON and CASPIAN TERNS on several times during the
afternoon.

September 18, 1999, Saturday, 11:45 a.m. Hi, this is Steven Mlodinow. Went
to the Skagit Game Range this morning. The only highlight was a BANK
SWALLOW just east of the Game Range and along Mann Road in the small flocks
that roost on the wires there. There was a fair number of migrants today at
the Game Range including good numbers of GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROWS and LINCOLN
SPARROWS and a fair number of ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS, a couple WILLOW
FLYCATCHERS and so forth. Good luck and good birding.

September 18, 1999, Saturday, 9:07 p.m. Hello, this is Dave Beaudette at
(206) 365-2083. This report is for September the 18th and the Jensen access
of the Skagit Wildlife Area in Skagit County. One LAPLAND LONGSPUR was seen
in flight over the dike, as well as 1 HORNED LARK. A single AMERICAN
BITTERN landed out in the marsh and 2 SANDHILL CRANES were seen in low
flight over the inner bay. Good birding.

September 19, 1999, Sunday, 4:36 p.m. Hi. [Transcription cut off.]

September 19, 1999, Sunday, 7:05 p.m. Hi, this is Ryan Shaw. Phone number
(360) 491-1084, reporting from Lacey for September 19th. Today at the
Tokeland Marina at about 4:00 o'clock just after low tide, there was a
HUDSONIAN GODWIT in the large flock of MARBLED GODWITS. I saw the bird real
close in flight as the flock took off from the rock jetty across the marina.
The HUDSONIAN in the flock landed in the mud flats to the left of the boat
launch before a PEREGRINE FALCON spooked the flock, which flew west. Easily
seen was the white rump and the blackish wing-linings of the HUDSONIAN
GODWIT. Good birding.

September 19, 1999, Sunday, 9:33 p.m. Hello, this is Scott Atkinson, with a
few birds to report over the last few days primarily from Skagit County. On
September 17th at the Jensen access, I had an EURASIAN WIGEON in a large
dabbling duck flock. Along Maupin Road, which is just immediately northwest
of Jensen, I had one BANK SWALLOW. At the south shore of Lake McMurray,
east of Conway along Route 534, a good flock of passerines including 12
BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLERS and a late WESTERN WOOD PEEWEE. On September
18th, just north of Sequim and south of the DRA at the Lotzgesell Road
ponds, Lotzgesell Road ponds, this is along Kitchen-Dick Road, I had a late
CLIFF SWALLOW and the first 3 RING-NECKED DUCKS of the season. Today at the
Gray's marsh public beach access there was a single LAPLAND LONGSPUR and a
dozen HORNED LARKS. At Fort Williams State Park, just south, a late RUFOUS
HUMMINGBIRD. That's all.

September 20, 1999, Monday, 6:19 p.m. This is Bill Stark (425) 771-1923.
In Edmonds I saw a PYGMY NUTHATCH today which is the first one that I've
seen in this part of the world in the past 27 years.
