Gary and Tweeters:

Don't know why it did not post from yahoo, but here's my May 14 report from central Skagit Co,
I can send the full list Gary if desired, knowing you already had parties in these areas.



Tweeters:

Even though it was 3-3:30 pm today, Corkindale Powerline Crossing
between Marblemount and Rockport did not disappoint today. The following highlights were found:

LEWIS' WOODPECKER 2 (flycatching from top of tallest cottonwood, n. side)
GRAY FLYCATCHER 1 (near end of dirt road north along Corkindale Cr, Indigo B spot)
Am. Pipit 1
Red-eyed Vireo 1 (FOS)
Nashville Warbler 1
MacGillivray's Warbler 1
Lincoln's Sparrow 1
VESPER SPARROW 1 (tame, right along 20)

At the base of the Suiattle River Rd, near the Sauk River to the south, the
following were also found:

Bank Swallow 1
Hammond's Flycatcher 3
Ruby-crowned Kinglet 2
Nashville Warbler 4
BH Grosbeak 3

And at the Bryson Rd. access to the Sauk River, single WARBLING and CASSIN'S VIREOS were present.
The GRAY FLYCATCHER was a perfect down-flicking bird seen from 30' at the Indigo Bunting spot
of a couple years back. This is, according to my data, the first SKAGIT CO record/report.

Finally, at Tiny's Land in n. Lake Stevens in the morning, we had 6 warbler sp and only our second
TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE in 15 years.
