On Sun., Feb. 8, while I, my wife Judy, and Mary Ann Berrie were returning
to Seattle from a two-day circuit encompassing Sauvie Is., Vancouver Lake,
Astoria, Ft. Stevens State Park (OR), Willapa, Tokeland, and Westport
(with *interesting* weather all the way), we spotted TWO Great Egrets in
the marshy areas along Highway 105, about one mile west of the Highway 105
junction south of Westport - along with a Peregrine Falcon perched in one
of the trees. This was my first Great Egret in Washington.
