Tweeters,

Today there was a single RED PHALAROPE and 5 ANCIENT MURRELETS between Port Townsend and Keystone; a ROCK SANDPIPER with c. 120 Black Turnstones and 23 Surfbirds at Penn Cove; and at least one WESTERN SANDPIPER with Dunlin at the Skagit.

The purpose of my trip was to scope scopes at Anacortes Birding:- irritatingly closed for inventory but redeemingly the manager let me check out a couple. Anyone have any views or info about the latest largest Kowa Swarovski Zeiss or Televue? Feedback would be much appreciated: directly to me I suppose, unless of general interest to most tweeters. And, as I write this, another scope mailing appears on the screen: must be the season.

Thanks,
