Monday, October 2, 2000. Hello, this is Steve Pink, (425) 649- 0601. Yesterday, Sunday afternoon, at the Snohomish Sewage Pond, the AMERICAN AVOCET was still present as well as one SOLITARY SANDPIPER, a PECTORAL SANDPIPER. Thanks, that's it, good luck and good birding.

Tuesday, October 3, 2000. Hi, this is Bob Sundstrom reporting from the Grays Harbor area. There was a basic plumaged YELLOW-BILLED LOON today seen from Westport from the wooden viewing platform on the north side of the harbor. There was a big movement of STELLER'S JAYS at Toke Point including a single SCRUB JAY. There were 3 BAR-TAILED GODWITS with the MARBLED GODWITS at Toke Point near the marina and there was a single PALM WARBLER today in a large movement of all sorts of migrating sparrows and other birds near the Best Western Lighthouse Hotel in Ocean Shores at the west end of Damon Road. I also saw a FRANKLIN'S GULL flying down the beach from the same motel.
