> Falcon and 2 Oldsquaw offshore. We travelled west to Oak Bay County Park
> and noted 120 Brant, all 3 scoters, and 4 Marbled Murrelets. Continuing
on
> Marrowstone Island, we checked Mystery Bay S.P., where 5 Eared Grebes, 7
> Oldsquaw, and 2 Gr. Yellowlegs were noted. We then birded Marrowstone
Pt.,
> where up to 12 Ancient Murrelets and 4 Marbled Murrelets were seen flying
> offshore and at Ft. Flagler S.P. a large flock of Dunlin with 13 B.B.
> Plovers, 14 B. Turnstones, 23 Sanderlings, and 6 W. Sandpipers mixed in
> were noted. Our final stop was made at the Pt. Townsend Marina where my
