Hi, this is Ryan Merrill. There was a BLUE-FOOTED BOOBY flying over
Samish Island this afternoon from about 3:05 to 3:40, then it headed off
south-southwest across Padilla Bay towards Anacortes at Marks Point. It
was in association with a couple hundred gulls, which you could see very
distantly from the island foraging over Padilla Bay after it left, so I
didn't see the booby again. Anyway, good luck and good birding.

Hi, this is Nancy LaFramboise, (509) 627-3695. As reported on Tweeters
yesterday, I found a LITTLE STINT at the Yakima Delta, but today there
is no mud. Water's up and no shorebirds. Thanks, bye.
