Hi, this is Steven Mlodinow. At about 7:00, Brad Waggoner and I had a COMMON GRACKLE, actually a singing male, near what used to be called the Oyster House, north of Sequim along Dungeness Bay. You basically go west from the Three Crabs Restaurant, go north on Marine Drive, and right where Marine Drive.drops down to the county park, that's where the bird was hanging out with Brewer's Blackbirds. Also at the north end of Shmuck Road, we had a male MOUNTAIN BLUEBIRD, and this morning at Point No Point, we had a VESPER SPARROW. Good luck and good birding.

Hi, this is Gary Bletsch. Howard Armstrong and I just found a MARBLED GODWIT at March's Point. We were at the location known as Whitmarsh, which is at the southeast base of the peninsula looking out toward the dredge spoil islands at Swinomish channel, and the Marbled Godwit was seen about 8:40 Sunday morning, today, all by itself on the narrow sandy spit.
