The cloud cover was weird today. Several layers. Some low-hanging clouds almost touching the ground. Moving at different speeds. Occassionaly letting the sun peek through.<\/p>\n\n\n

Not much bird activity today, but I did add Crested Auklet to the trip list. This is the first 2-auklet species trip I have had since the last Whiskered Auklet boat trip many years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also had an Arctic Loon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Common Gull is still around as are the Garganey, Great Egret, Hawfinches, and Brambling. The Hobby was not seen again today…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bar-tailed Godwits were a little closer today.<\/p>\n\n\n

The most exciting sighting today was a Steller’s Sea Lion up on Navfac Beach. Most of the Sea Lions I see out here are patrolling just off the Seawall. The only Sea Lions that I have seen out of the water were on my first Whiskered Auklet boat trip, when the captain took us by a rookery. So this was pretty nice. <\/p>\n\n\n

The trip list is at 88.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can see the total list at https:\/\/ebird.org\/tripreport\/525344?welcome=true<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I leave for home tomorrow afternoon (around 2:30).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I won’t be posting my final trip blog until Sunday afternoon or Monday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
