 Whidbey Audubon Needs Help with Bird List
 Summer Sightings Wanted.
 
 Since we are revising the Whidbey Audubon Society Birds of Whidbey Checklist, we need Whidbey Island summer (June, July, August) sightings of Varied Thrush and Common Nighthawks. If you see either of these species, please send the information to my email listed below. Put Varied Thrush Sighting in the subject line. Include in the information how many individuals were seen and note any activity observed. We don't need a street address but a nearby street intersection, neighborhood or park location will do.

 Sighting Description: A flock of 6 band-tailed pigeons flew in and landed in the top of an 
alder tree.  They hung out for 10 minutes or so, long enough to confirm their identity with 
a spotting scope, then took off, heading northwest.

 Sighting Description: This is the second house wren nest on our back porch this year..  We 
guess it is the same hen's second batch.  The first time she used the platform of our can 
crusher.  This time she is using our rag bag.  Very interesting how she used larger twigs to 
make a foundation structure.  You can see them sticking out on the nest edges.  Each of the 
4 eggs is dime size.  I saw the first nest jam packed with nestlings but do not know if they 
fledged.  This is a good year for a second family!
 
 Location: Olympic View Drive, Crockett Lake Estates
 
 Date and time: Sunday, July 12, 1:30 pm

 Sighting Description: Ebey's Prairie - Acorn Woodpecker (deceased)
 I'm visiting my parents, who live near the Sunnyside cemetery at Ebey's prairie.  In their 
yard, I found a dead acorn woodpecker associated with a nest hole in a dead tree.  It's 
probably been dead for a week or so, but is definitely an acorn woodpecker.
 
 Location: S Sherman Rd, near Sunnyside cemetery
 
 Confirmation: Shared picture with Sarah Schmidt, who agreed with identification.

 Sighting Description: Possible Chipping Sparrow
 We were hiking the trail from Sunnyside cemetery to the Bluff trail at Ebey's Prairie; maybe 
halfway out to the bluff.  There was a solitary sparrow on the fenceline above the trail.  
Sparrow had a solid rufus cap, a clear and light-colored breast, and a line through the eye 
with white above.  No call was heard.  Bird was seen July 10, around 7:30pm.  Not refound 
morning of July 11.  Best match seemed to be Chipping sparrow, which I've seen a few times 
but am not very familiar with.
 
 Location: On trail from Sunnyside cemetery to Bluff trail; Ebey's Prairie.

 Sighting Description: At least 10 Semipalmated Sandpipers and a possible Stint in a group of 
several hundred peeps, mostly Western Sandpipers.
 The possible stint was a noticeably reddish peep in a flock on a sandbar further offshore. 
Heat shimmer and and then, a hunting Peregrine Falcon prevented a positive ID
 
 Location: Crockett Lake west of the pilings

 Sighting Description: Shortly after noon today on the little island in the lake at the west 
end of Dugualla Bay I saw two very young downy covered spotted sandpiper chicks.  They were 
following the parent bird and bobbing their tails.  There was also another older juvenile 
that did not have spots on its breast but it did have a little bit of downy fluff remaining 
on its otherwise feathered body. It was not with the adult and chicks but was on the little 
spit that sticks out from the island and it was also doing the tail bobbing.  I was not able 
to get a photo.

 Sighting Description: Although not an unusual species for Whidbey, a Bald Eagle visiting our 
backyard birdbath for a drink is a first -- on July 4th no less! Eagle stayed from 8:10-8:20 
pm. Periodically it leaned down and dipped its lower bill in the water to drink. My photos 
aren't great quality but a good record. Mostly I captured the event in hand-held video, but 
a still is included.
 
 Location: 3 miles south of Coupeville
 
 Date and time: July 4, 8:10-8:20 p.m.

 Sighting Description: I was driving down Cultus Bay Rd when a large white bird in the marsh 
caught my attention.  I had my camera and was able to pull over and get a couple of quick 
pics of a Trumpeter Swan.  I know it's hard to keep track of time in 2024 but I'm pretty 
sure it is July.  Someone tell this swan!  Maybe I'm behind the curve and this is a known 
bird?

 Sighting Description: Not Whidbey, but 
close. I have seen a pair of Marbled

south side of the dock. If anyone would 
like a nice closeup view.

 Sighting Description: roughly 200 Common 
Merganser in transitional plumage I will

request. Our Bird-list lists these as rare

next list. I am having difficulties 
sending pictures on this form.

of Dike Road.
