Tweeters,

This is George Gerdts reporting on several interesting birds on Camano
Island. While running my BBS route this morning (at 6:15 Sunday, June 23)
there was a Sandhill Crane in adult plumage, a male Wilson's Phalarope in
alternate plumage, and a mostly alternate plumaged Greater Yellowlegs. All
three were on Camano Island just across the bridge onto the island from
Stanwood. They were on the north side of the road just before the Davis
Slough sign and the sign that announces "Entering Island County". The
Greater Yellowlegs was still present at 10:30 when we completed the route,
but we could not re-locate either the Crane or the Phalarope.
Also, at the Everett Waterfront on Jetty Island, there were 4 Arctic
Terns. They were doing courtship flights, diving, carrying fish, landing,
and offering the fish to each other. Amazing, least a few are still there!!

Good birding,

George Gerdts
