April 26, 8:57 AM - Hello, this is Scott Atkinson. This morning at our place
in Lake Stevens at the north end of Lake Stevens we had a WHITE-THROATED
SPARROW of the White Striped phase. That's all.

April 26, 9:34 AM - This is Mark Oberly (206) 324-2742. At Bowerman Basin
this morning in Grays Harbor there were 12 - 15 thousand shorebirds, mostly
WESTERN SANDPIPERS with some DUNLIN. Tomorrow could be a particularly good
tide, although it is also good flying weather tonight.

April 27, 7:14 AM - Hello, this is Mike Wile in Redmond (425) 503-5766
birding with Michael Mann in the Carnation area. Yesterday we had a single
singing NASHVILLE WARBLER on Carnation Farms Road as you cross over the
river going towards Carnation on the north and east side of the Snoqualmie
River. There is a riparian area there where this one was singing - a male
NASHVILLE WARBLER. We also had one SOLITARY SANDPIPER at Sikes Lake.

April 28. 5:51 AM - This is Dave Beaudette at (206) 365-2083. This report is
for April 27 at the Spencer Island area of Snohomish County. A male LAZULI
BUNTING was seen along the Langus Riverfront Trail just south of the Jack
Knight Bridge. That bridge, of course, is the entrance to Spencer Island.
And seen from the cross dike at Spencer Island was one immature
YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD, one SOLITARY SANDPIPER, one immature TRUMPETER SWAN
on the water north of the cross dike. Also seen was a LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER,
about 200 WESTERN SANDPIPERS, and about twenty DUNLIN. That's it for now.
Good Birding!

April 29, 3:12 PM - This is Gene Hunn (206-524-8112) About noon today at
Marymoor Park I saw and heard singing a BREWER'S SPARROW amd nearby saw a
WESTERN KINGBIRD. The sparrow and the kingbird were both in the meadow area
east of the paved trail that goes out toward the lake between the little
observation point 2 amd observation point 3 which are marked with little
green tags. Turn off the trail at observation point 3 and go about 100 yards
north along the informal trail along the margin of the meadow to where the
meadow opens up to the east. That's where it was. The WESTERN KINGBIRD was
in the meadow nearby. Good Birding!
