I couldn't find the Red Phalarope Sunday morning off Westpoint, nor did I
see any Ancient Murrelets but did see the imm Heermann's fly by. Also a
few Brandt's and Pelagic Cormorants with the numerous Double-cresteds and
lots of Rhinos and Murres, some coming into alternate plumage.

Off Dungeness Spit on the Sequim CBC Saturday the 16th George Gerdts and
I had a dark N. Fulmar at the far east tip, 18 Red Phalaropes scattered
about, 184+/- Ancient Murrelets, one Marbled Godwit, three Black
Oystercatchers, and a Yellow-billed Loon. The loon was smack in the
middle of the enclosed bay. Also several Swamp Sparrows reported on the
count which totaled in the low 130s.
