Thursday, April 6, 6:38 AM This is Vic Nelson. Yesterday at Point No Point
at the Northeast tip of the Kitsap Pensinsula an adult LITTLE GULL was
present from about 9:30 in the morning until about 2:00 in the afternoon.
The best time to look for this bird for the next couple of days will be
within those hours. There's also been two TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRES feeding or
roosting in holly trees along Point No Point Road the last two days. And a
couple days ago a BLACK OYSTERCATCHER flew south past the point never to be
seen again. Thank you.

Thursday, April 6, 1:28 PM Hello, my name is Hanah and my friend's name is
Janie. We just saw a VIRGINIA RAIL on the Scudder Pond in Whatcom County on
the edge of Bellingham. Scudder Pond is owned by the Audubon Society. The
VIRGINIA RAIL is apparently a very rare species for this pond.
