The Far Eastern Curlew, Common Greenshank and Common Sandpiper were all seen today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Haven Lake this morning, we found a Tufted Duck which actually stayed while we viewed it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We saw one Red-necked Stint still lingering at the Airport Creek Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We still had three Wood Sandpipers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The waters of the northern part of Clam Lagoon have been calm enough the past two days to permit easy spotting of Murrelets. Both Marbled and Kittlitz’s were calling today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also at the north end of the lagoon were two Red-throated Loons (trip bird).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Seawall was overflowing with loons. We counted 16 Pacific and 2 Arctic. My all-time high for Pacific Loons was 25 in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later in the day while scanning the Kuluk Bay Kelp Bed, 2 Short-tailed Shearwaters flew by just past the Kelp Bed! I usually see hundreds or thousands, not 2…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And finally, in town, we saw three Common Ravens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I posted the above 2 hours ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
About 25 minutes ago, we got a call that a Hawfinch was at the Seal Drive feeder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We highballed it over there and not one, but TWO, Hawfinches were there (a male and a female)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We assume these were new birds, as the single seen a week-and-a-half ago was extremely skittish and hasn’t been seen since.<\/p>\n\n\n
