Ken Brown, myself (Ed Pullen) and a group from the Tacoma area birded our
way to the East side looking for passerine vagrants and East Side
shorebirds. Nothing really unusual, but:

At Getty Cove: Lots of YR warblers, two RC kinglets, 1 Bullocks Oriole,
Wilsons, OC, Nashville warblers, two RE Vireos, Warbling Vireo, Chippping,
WC sparrows.

At Potholes near the end near the Egret Rookery: One Solitary Sandpiper,
One Franklin's gull, one Lesser and three Greater Yellowlegs. Am. W.
Pelicans, Gr. Egrets.

At Perch Point: 80 Western, 8 Pectoral, 1 Least, 1 Spotted sandpipers, 4
Wilson's Snipe, 2 Lesser YL.

At Lind Cooley, the water at great level for shorebirding. Birded both
near the end of the cooley where we had 3 Stilt SP, 4 Pectoral SP, among
many Western, and then at the large parking lot area near the mouth where
we got great looks in evening light filtered nicely by clouds to make
viewing easier. There we had 8 Pectoral, 8 Bairds, 2 LEast, 2
Semipalmated, 80 Western sandpipers. One birder away from the group saw 2
Buff Breasted SP but the rest of us were unable to relocate these.

Good Birding.
