Dear Tweeters,

I guess I should have gone where Ryan Merrill went
yesterday, instead of listening to the Harley
Davidsons roar (and get into accidents) around Samish
Flats. That trip was intended as a search for Horned
Larks, of which I found none. There were lots of
American Pipits and Barn Swallows, and a few
Violet-green Swallows.

At Alice Bay were about 100 Black-bellied Plover, a
PACIFIC-GOLDEN PLOVER, five Short-billed Dowitchers,
two Dunlin, and an out-of-habitat Black Turnstone.

Along the slough between Edison and West Edison were
four Leasts, a Wilson's Snipe, and, oddly enough, a
HOUSE WREN.

Up at Lyman at the Skagit River, there have been some
shorebirds and such this past weekend.

Friday: 4 Pectoral Sandpipers;

Saturday: 14 Wilson's Snipe, 1 Greater Yellowlegs, 1
Long-billed Dowitcher, 1 Pectoral, 3 Killdeer.

Sunday: 13 Wilson's Snipe, 3 or 4 Long-billed
Dowitchers.




Yours truly,

Gary Bletsch
