Hello Mike,

A nice map list of vagrants by you,but perhaps you could add a few additional species this fall from Washington State,as posted onto Tweeters,etc including the following:


1 first-year male Rose-breasted Grosbeak at Lyons Ferry S.P. in Franklin Co. on the 6th of September observed by Bill Tweit,Charlie Wright, and Bruce Labar.

A Tennessee Warbler at Bassett Park(Washtucna),Adams Co. by Mike and MerryLynn Denny and other birders,but not an exact date in early September.

1 adult male Northern Parula at Bottle Beach in Grays Harbor Co. on the 11th of August observed by Tom Aversa and Hal Opperman and again at that location on the 21st of August observed by Stefan Schlick.

1 Blackpoll Warbler at Bassett Park(Washtucna)Adams Co. on the 12th of September by Scott Downes

A female type Orchard Oriole at Bottle Beach on the 20th of September by Kevin Aanerud,then later that same day relocated and observed by Gina Sheridan,Garrett MacDonald,and Harold and Karen Cottet,all from the Spokane area.

A adult male Black-throated Blue Warbler at the Davenport Cemetery in Lincoln Co. on the 26th of September by Bob Woodley and his son

A first-year Magnolia Warbler at the Davenport Cemetery on the 28th of September by Charlie Wright,Jim Acton and other birders, through at least the 30th of September by Matt Bartels.

Perhaps there are more vagrant records,but these are a few we recall recently.

Sincerely,

Ruth and Patrick Sullivan
