March 22, 9:51 AM. This is Vic Nelson at Point No Point at the northeast
tip of the Kitsap Peninsula. This morning I saw an adult LITTLE GULL for
the first time this spring in with about 1000 BONAPARTE'S and MEW
GULLS. Thank you. Good bye.

March 23, 5:24 PM. Hello this is Dave Beaudette at 206-365-2083. This
report is for March the 23rd in Snohomish County. At the Smith Farm
Wildlife Area near Stanwood was a male MOUNTAIN BLUEBIRD, 10 WESTERN
MEADOWLARKS, and about 20 SAVANNAH SPARROWS. And at the north end near
State Route 532 was a flock of over 5,000 SNOW GEESE. To find the MOUNTAIN
BLUEBIRD, from the parking lot at the end of Eide Rd. head south along the
trail that follows the main dike. Soon the trail runs on the top of the
dike, stay on the main dike as it heads west and then to the north. The
trail will come to a spot where brush has overgrown the dike. The BLUEBIRD
was seen off to the west at that point. Good birding!

March 24, 9:58 AM. Hi, this is Vic Nelson at Point No Point at the
northeast tip of the Kitsap Peninsula. The adult LITTLE GULL has been here
for the last three days in a row and the best time to look for it this
weekend will probably be between about 10 o'clock and 1 o'clock or possibly
as late as 2 o'clock. Thank you. Good bye.
