August 8, 7:59 AM - Hi. This is Nancy LaFramboise (509 627 3695)
reporting from the Yakima Delta on Sunday morning. The STINT is
currently at the west end of the Yakima Delta near the Ben Franklin bus
depot. There's a gate that says "Road Closed." If you walk behind the
gate and come around a little bit, there is a good viewing area.

August 8, 10:43 AM - This is Steve Cornfeld from Bend, Oregon. I'm
looking at the BLACK-TAILED GULL at its usual location. It just flew in
and its lounging at the mouth of the river. Nobody else is here,
unfortunately.
