Subject: [Tweeters] RFI: Timing of shorebird migration in Washington

Hi all,

A friend & I are thinking about a fall trip to Washington. (It's still
tentative at the moment.) The main focus for both of us would be some
pelagic species, but I'm also interested in a few shorebirds. If anyone can
give me an idea of the dates when they are passing through your great state,
I would be most grateful. I'm interested in Pacific Golden-Plover,
Bar-tailed Godwit & Sharp-tailed Sandpiper. I have some information on
*where* to look, albeit somewhat sketchy, but nothing on *when*. So I would
be interested in both when (primarily) & where, if you're willing to share
your expertise.

Thanks for your time. In return, if you ever have any questions
relating to Manitoba birds & birding, please ask me!

Cheers,
