I
> just got back from a camping trip at Lake Ozette, Sunday the 15th through
> today Wednesday the 18th. Unfortunately the NORTHERN PARULA was not
spotted
> or heard and I birded the area thoroughly, but I did spot a NORTHERN PYGMY
> OWL, also many COMMON NIGHTHAWKS with lots of YELLOW and WILSON'S WARBLERS
> with COMMON YELLOWTHROATS.
> I took a hike down to the beach where I spotted WHIMBRELS, WESTERN
> SANDPIPERS, WANDERING TATTLERS, BLACK OYSTERCATCHERS and GREATER
YELLOWLEGS.
> Also took a drive out to Cape Flattery where there was at least 20 or
so
> breeding plumaged TUFTED PUFFINS just below the observation deck with many
> PIGEON GUILLEMOTS, some COMMON MURRES and PELAGIC CORMORANTS and
RHINOCEROS
> AUKLETS and the GUILLEMOTS, MURRES and CORMORANTS were all nesting in the
> cliffs right below the observation deck where you could see them landing
on
> their eggs and feeding some young.. Other than that there was nothing else
> spectacular or out of the ordinary. But as I said I was sorry the NORTHERN
> PARULA was not there and I tried my darnest to find it. Anyways, that's
it.
> Good luck and good birding.
