Hi Tweeters,

Today I had the good fortune to spend the day on Sucia Island (about 2
miles north of Orcas Island) in the San Juans. The highlight of the day
was a CLAY-COLORED SPARROW at the spit on the east end of Mud Bay
(adjacent to Fossil Bay). I found it around 9:30 this morning and
relocated it again around 1:30. There were at least two pairs of Coastal
FOX SPARROWS (P. i. fuliginosa) at the camp ground on the west end of
Fossil Bay. The park ranger told me that there were 5-6 pairs of FOX
SPARROWS nesting on Clark Island as well. Also noted (in abundance) were
ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS, TOWNSEND WARBLERS, and HOUSE WRENS.

Good birding,

Russell
