Fri, 3/21 5:55 pm. Tom Aversa. Reporting our trip to the Snoqualmie
Valley. It was a Seattle Audubon trip. We had 7 WESTERN BLUEBIRDS
near Snoqualmie Farms; those were the most notable birds we saw. They
were sort of near the eagle nest which is right near the farms there in
Carnation. Also had an AMERICAN BITTERN at Sykes Lake that was right out
in the open.

Sunday, March 30, 1:16pm. Martha Taylor, 206 523 4677. Today at
Northcreek Park at the UW Bothell campus we saw a shrike, which we
believe was a NORTHERN SHRIKE. We also heard and MARSH WRENS and
despite about a 100 swallow boxes tied to the trees, no swallows.
That's it, good luck and good birding.
