Oh, though I've only ridden it once, that Keystone-Port Townsend Ferry was a
treat. When twitching the male Steller's Eider (lifer) at Pt. Townsend in
the Eighties, there was a bonus to riding this ferry: not only was the water
covered with about two thousand or more Ancient Murrelets (many flocks of
00's), but an unexpected (lifer) Thick-billed Murre was sitting in a flock
of Common Murre close to the ferry's route about halfway across.
