A better day than yesterday. Two trip birds and some great photos of a couple “rarish” birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went up to the Marsh to look for the Reeve and met Rick’s group there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We walked into the area where it had last been seen and quickly found one (maybe two) Wood Sandpipers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortly thereafter, I spotted the Reeve. This was a lifer for two of Rick’s group!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then worked my way over to Andrew Lake where I found one of the Tufted Ducks — in full sunlight and CLOSE!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My best shot ever of my favorite duck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then headed north and did Clam Lagoon. The wind was fierce today and birds were just hanging on out on the flats. The only shorebirds I had were two Pacific Golden-Plovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No other notable birds up there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By late afternoon, I had arrived back in town and found a very cooperative Brambling at the Naval Administration Building (remember where Sam was putting out seed when he spotted the Eye-browed Thrush!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then decided to do a late afternoon trip to Finger Bay and creek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the way, I stopped at the North Quarry to check the creek for tattlers and Lake Leone for waterfowl. I did not see any tattlers on the way in and the lake had only gulls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the way out, I stopped at the creek again and, as I lowered my window, I heard a tattler call and fly away. I didn’t see it, but figured it hadn’t gone far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure enough, I found it just above the dam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So a nice day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trip List is 68 — one above average (of course every time I get above average, it raises the average…).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
