Hi Tweets,

I had a small pruning job at the north-end of Kitsap County so I made a
morning check of the Point no Point area. There was very little going on
as far as water birds off of the point this morning. However, there was
a large flight of American Robins overhead. A few Varied Thrushes mixed
in with the several hundred robins during my half-hour watch. I didn't
see any ringed ones.

Near the west-end of the Point no Point Road, not far from the Hansville
Road, I heard the full song of a pugetensis White-crowned Sparrow. It
seemed a little early so I thought I would give the songster a look-see.
I was a little surprised to see it was an immature bird singing away.

About a half mile west of the Hansville store on Adams Road I found a
white-striped WHITE-THROATED SPARROW. He also belted out his song a few
times. Nice! We don't often hear that in our area. Also in the Adams
Road area was an albanistic Fox Sparrow that was nearly completely white
- cool looking bird.

Sorry for the belated report (busy weekend!), but there was a
YELLOW-BILLED LOON off of Fort Flagler, Marrowstone Island this past
Saturday.

Cheers and good birding,
