This afternoon (1/1/98) at 3:15 p.m. I observed a male Oldsquaw in winter
plumage from West Bay Drive in Olympia. The bird was mixed in with some
scoters, goldeneyes, and scaup. It was spotted between the west shore of Budd
Inlet and a log raft which is due west of the Port of Olympia's cargo
unloading cranes. The best bird of the new year so far!
