them. When I sent this the first time Sept. 5, it was rejected by Tweeters because I was

Wednesday, September 5, 2001, 7:32 a.m. Hello this is Scott Atkinson with a belated report
for last Sunday morning, 3rd of September, at the Jensen Access. This report was originally
posted to Tweeters, but apparently it did not download well. Early on the morning of the 3rd,
there were quite a few of the grass pipers at the Jensen Access on the plowed field that
adjoins the access road immediately east. Highlight: one juvenile BUFF-BREASTED
SANDPIPER, four PACIFIC GOLDEN-PLOVER, eighteen BAIRD'S SANDPIPERS and two
SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPERS. There was also a PEREGRINE and a TURKEY
VULTURE at the dike. Then just to the northwest along the west end of Maupin Road, heard
only, a LONG-BILLED CURLEW, near or on the dike to the west of the road. There was also
a female TREE SWALLOW here among many other swallows. Then at the Skagit Game
Range headquarters, off Wiley Road, along the Loop Trail, one GREEN HERON, three
PACIFIC SLOPE FLYCATCHERS, one WILLOW FLYCATCHER and a BANK SWALLOW.
That is all. Tuesday, September 4, 2001, 11:26 a.m.

This is Rachel Lawson at 206-282-5593. Today at Ocean Shores, I saw two BUFF
BREASTED SANDPIPERS. These birds were originally found by Matthew Moskwik. They
were on the mudflats directly south of the rock wall of the marina at the base of Damon Point.
On Damon Point ponds, there were also two BAIRD'S SANDPIPERS and one PECTORAL
SANDPIPER. That's it. Good birding. Transcription completed at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday
