Tweeters,



Thanks to Adam's note, I had a few minutes right before the sun set to run down to the below mentioned location. In addition to the shorebirds listed below, I also found 1 Baird's Sandpiper, foraging in the muddy grass just a few yards away from most of the other shorebirds.

Great muddy marshland off of 532 to Camano. (see link at bottom). Had both
GREATER and LESSER YELLOWLEGS, LONG-BILLED and SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHERS, at
least 8 PECTORAL SANDPIPERS, 2 WESTERN SANDPIPERS, and 5-10 LEAST SANDPIPERS.
All were very close to the highway where the new gravel road starts. Also had
BLUE-WINGED and GREEN-WINGED TEAL, NORTHERN SHOVELER, NORTHERN PINTAIL and a
PEREGRINE FALCON.


Tulalip Spit still hosts a large flock of BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER as well as some
WESTERN SANDPIPERS, SANDERLINGS and 1 DUNLIN.
