December 16, 12:48 PM - Hello, this is Steve Pink (425) 649 0601. Couple of
belated reports. On Thursday I made a trip around Carnation and Carnation
Farm. At Carnation Farm Dairy in a large group of CANADAS, including some
smaller CANADA GEESE there were eight GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GEESE. There
were four TRUMPETER SWANS further down the road. Yesterday, the 15th of
December up in Skagit, I had one PRAIRIE FALCON at the junction of Sullivan
Road and NE Bayview Edison Road. That was the main highlight. Thanks. Good
luck and good birding.

December 16, 3:21 PM - This is Vic Nelson at Point No Point at the N.E. tip
of the Kitsap Peninsula. Today I saw the leucistic COMMON MURRE again. I
believe Monday I said it had an orange bill. It does not have an orange
bill. It has kind of a dark, dusky colored bill. It has dark legs and a dark
eye. It has some dusky on the hind neck. I did not see the ARCTIC LOON today
and I don't know if anyone else did. It was a pretty nasty weather day.
Thank you. Goodbye.
