I don't know how many. Donate money and I'll do a flight.

I can't be the only one impressed by all of the interior water sightings.
Eagle Creek on Hood Canal, Skatchet Head on Whidbey, Blakely Rock off
Bainbridge, Gallagher Cover in Totten Inlet, Protection Island; Weren't
there sightings off Alki Point or Discovery Park? And then there are the
Vancouver Island sightings. I don't know what the numbers are but I
believe this is a truly unusual year. I have heard of birds in Puget Sound
in years past but I was under the impression that these were odd single
birds here and there - uncommon - few and far between. No?
