Saturday, April 23, 1:43PM. Hi. This is Stephen Mlodinow. Today at about
10:30 we had a FRANKLIN'S GULL at English Boom [Camano Island, Island County
BN] feeding out on the mud flats. Best of luck and good birding.

Saturday, April 23, 1:49PM. Hi, this is Greg Toffic. This morning at the
Boeing Ponds near Kent there was a single SOLITARY SANDPIPER. I was looking
for the ROSS' GEESE in that area and was not able to find them.

Sunday, April 24, 9:22AM. This is Michael Fleming 206 297-3234. I did some
birding yesterday at Discovery Park. I had a total of 59 species The
highlights were MACGILLIVRAY'S WARBLER and COMMON YELLOWTHROAT right around
the Visitor's Center. Also down on the beach area I had a RHINOCEROS AUKLET.
I had a BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLER and a WESTERN WOOD PEWEE in the north
end of the south meadow along bird alley. That's it. Good luck and good
birding!
