Hello Tweeters,
This trip was not a birding trip.I try to ad some more species for Pacific
Co. which listed only 12 species for this Co.I made a quick stop in tokland
where i observed the BAR-TAILED GODWIT AT 11.45 AM on the jetty.The bird was
in company with Marblet Godwits, Whimbrels and Short-billed Dowitchers.I
did not count the birds and was manly interested seeing and keeping record
how long the Bar tailed will stay.Best to seeing this bird feeding in the
breakwaters close to the dock would be 5 hours before high tide.The wind
start picking up, and there where few Dragonflies flying.I did manage to see
a Aeshna multicolor what would be new for the County.
