After I Overcome My Paranoia About My Computer, I Can Finnish My List On
East Bay Olympia.
I Add Few More Species Today.I Spotted The Yellow-Billed Loon Again,But Far
Out At Priest Point Park.It Was Definitely Not The Best Sighting At This
Point.I Was So Lucky Yesterday, To See This
So Close.I Watched The Loon Catch Big Salmon,It Took A Long Time Before He
Could Master And
Eat This Big Fish.Four Times The Fish jumped Up In The Air,But In The End
The Loon Was The Winner.It Certainly Was A Pleasure And Exiting To Watch.
