Saturday, November 2, 5:42 PM; Hi this is Barry Levine (206) 526-8676,
reporting a group of SNOW BUNTINGS, including a very bright male, seen off
Maupin Rd on Fir Island. To get there, take the LaConner exit off I-5, go
west on Fir Island Rd where you come to a hairpin curve, turn to your left
and as the road bends right, that?s Maupin Rd. Make that left, go down to
the first farmhouse and look into the fields. Thats it.

Saturday, November 2, 5:59 PM; Hi this is Tom Aversa reporting on something
of some local interest. A lot of goldeneyes are flying east over Finny
Ridge, and there are about 200 goldeneye down at Green Lake before dusk. They
all appeared to be BARROWS. Also up in the zoo today there was a GREAT
HORNED OWL; it was of interest because it was a very sandy, pale individual,
not a typical Western Washington bird. Thats it.
