March 11, 2004, Thursday, 5:43 a.m. Hi, this is Martha Taylor (206)
523-4677. Today at the Montlake Fill, about 4:30, I observed a SAY'S
PHOEBE near the big rock by the central ponds. That's it. Good luck
and good birding.

March 12, 2004, Friday, 7:55 a.m. Hi, this is Tom Aversa with a belated
report from Wednesday. The GYRFALCON is still at the West 90. It was
active right until dusk. Also, had another GYRFALCON on Fir Island at
the north end that was hunting ducks, another young bird.

March 19, 2004, Friday, 12:03 a.m. This is Tom Aversa reporting on a
trip out to Grant and the Adams County area today. Pretty windy, not a
whole lot of birds around. At the, just beyond the Para Ponds in
Othello there was quite a large flock of BLACKBIRDS at the feed lot,
including about 90 TRI-COLOREDS and close to 200 YELLOW-HEADS. The only
other real thing of note was just a few CLIFF SWALLOWS and a WESTERN
BLUEBIRD in the George area.

March 20, 2004, Saturday, 11:47 p.m. Hi, this is Steven Mlodinow.
Today, Saturday, Dennis Duffy, Ryan Shaw, Charlie Wright and I birded
from Whidbey Island and around in the Skagit County. Had a total of 116
species. Highlights were at the southeast end of Bradshaw Road, in
Skagit County, with about 400 WHISTLING SWANS, there was one BEWICK'S
SWAN, and in the same field there was an immature, gray-phased
GYRFALCON. That's it. Good luck and Good birding.
