Hello Tweets,

Yesterday(June 26th)my mother and I birded Clallam Co., mainly in search
for the SNOWY EGRET at Blyn(W.Sequim Bay)seen and photographed on the 25th,
but could NOT be found, upon extensive searching. We birded other areas
around Sequim including the Dungeness Rec. Area, where 2 MOURNING DOVES, 1
WILLOW FLYCATCHER, several O.C.Warblers, and numerous Rufous Hummingbirds
were present. 3 HARLEQUIN DUCKS were observed near Cline Spit, along with
both summering SURF and WHITE-WINGED SCOTERS, which were present at several
locations. At Three Crabs notables included 1 HEERMANN'S GULL, 8 PACIFIC
LOONS, 3 MARBLED MURRELETS, 40 AM.WIGEONS, and 1 GR.YELLOWLEGS. Back at
W.Sequim Bay, along with searching for the non-present egret, both SURF and
WHITE-WINGED SCOTERS occured, as did 2 COMMON LOONS, 2 BONEAPARTE'S GULLS,
and 1 BARROW'S GOLDENEYE. The last stop of the day was made at Diamond Pt.,
where 2 MARBLED MURRELETS were the only highlight, but NO TUFTED PUFFINS!
