Hello and a somewhat belated report,

Seen along the Seahurst Park beach area, from just a few meters to about
100 meters off shore in the afternoon: About a dozen HORNED Grebes,
mostly in waning alternate plumage plus a few juveniles; 5 RED-NECKED
Grebes-could not discern plumage, but these are unexpected this early; 1
RHINOCEROUS Auklet, a juvenile; 1 Cormorant-appeared to be a juvenile
DOUBLE-CRESTED. Nothing much left in the woods other than a few resident
birds such as Robins, Black-capped chickadees and Northern flickers; what
I did notice were 3 to 5 Steller's Jays staying the entire summer. Our
condo complex Violet-green swallows also migrated out in late July.

Cheers,
Maureen Ellis me2 at u.washington.edu U of WA & Burien-Seahurst Park, WA
