Tweets,



I admit that I rarely call the BirdBox despite the fact that it is purring
away in my basement. I checked it today and lo and behold there was a
current message. In any case, for the record, here are the 10 recordings you
will hear if you call 206-364-1162.



1) October 9, Thursday, Curtis Pearson (206-722-9107), relocated the
golden plover first reported by Guy McWethy yesterday afternoon [but
subsequently not found in the muddy field west of Emerald Downs in Auburn,
Washington, off M Street, as posted to Tweeters. Curt watched it from 9
until 9:30 when it flew off [and could not be relocated a bit later]; Curt
apparently has some photos; it is most likely an American Golden-Plover].



2) September 15, Monday, Bob Stallcup (425-922-2300), observed a
Black-and-white Warbler at Bassett Park in Washtucna Sunday September 14.

Gnatcatcher near the visitor center at Ocean Shores.

flying south off West Point in Seattle.

Lazuli Bunting.

Fortson Mill Ponds, an Eastern Kingbird along the Oso Loop Rd., and Lazuli
Buntings in Arlington, all Snohomish County.

Tricolored Blackbird along the creek above Wenas Lake and Veeries, a Gray

some kind mid-day in St. Edwards Park [north of Kirkland, King County;
