Yesterday (10.02.05) the NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH was still at Skagit Wildlife on Fir Island in Skagit County. It was calling loudly at the location reported earlier by Gene Hunn and Stephan Schlick. At the same location was a WESTERN TANAGER and a PACIFIC SLOPE FLYCATCHER.

North of Stanwood, near the road to Big Ditch, was a YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD with a large flock of mixed blackbirds and starlings.
