March 19, 10:15 AM. Hello, this is Steve Pinker (?), phone number
425-649-0601. Yesterday at the Hoquiam Sewage Ponds the TUFTED DUCK was
still present in the southwest corner. And at Ocean Shores at the golf
course there were 3 GREATER WHITE FRONTED GEESE and a SNOW GOOSE, a ROCK
SANDPIPER at the jetty at Brown's Point, and that's about it. Thanks very
much.

March 19, 6:27 PM. Hi, this is Stephen Mlodinow. Today Gene Revelas,
Bruce Lebar, Bill Tweit and I started off the day at Hoquiam and had the
TUFTED DUCK, also had 3 WHITE FRONTED GEESE there. Near Montesano, along
Devonshire Rd. we had a light phase HARLAN'S HAWK; near Malone in Grays
Harbor County we had one WHITE THROATED SPARROW; near Oakville in Grays
Harbor County we had six more WHITE THROATED SPARROWS; and at the Capitol
Lake in Olympia we had a first winter GLAUCOUS GULL and a bird that was
probably a first winter GLAUCOUS GLAUCOUS-WINGED hybrid. I guess it may
have been an odd GLAUCOUS GULL, but probably not. And that's it. Good
luck and good birding.

March 19, 11:11 PM. Hi, this is Sam Terry, (206) 329-9038. Today at
around 3 in the afternoon, I had a CLARK'S GREBE on Lake Washington in
Seattle. It was seen from the Mt. Baker swimming beach on Lake Washington
Boulevard, south of I-90; and two weeks ago or so, on March 6th there was
an EARED GREBE at the Stan Sayres Pits also on Lake Washington
Blvd.. That's it. Good luck and good birding!
