Double apologies from here. Ned McGarry and I checked for the Brewster Murrelet on Sunday afternoon also w/o success. We weren't very surprised considering the temp was very high and that part of the lake was filled with jet skis. -Rolan

Sorry this is a few days behind, I've not been able to get to a computer earlier. On Monday the 12th I had several decent shorebirds below Dry Falls Dam in the large lake to the south.
1 SOLITARY SANDPIPER
1 BAIRDS SANDPIPER
small flock of juv peeps:
1 SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER
2 LEAST SANDPIPER
2 WESTERN SANDPIPER

On tuesday July 13th I checked at Brewster for the murrelet, no sign of that bird. I did however have 2 AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS at the mouth of the Okanogan river.

Good birding all.
