Hi Tweeters:
My boyfriend and I (both avid birders) are planning a trip to the Olympic
Peninsula and O.N.P. July 21-30. We would appreciate any advice on where we
could find the following birds.

We will only have a week, and unfortunately, Westport Seabirds doesn't have
a scheduled pelagic trip during our stay. Are there any other charters or
companies that would have pelagic trips that we could take?

My target birds are:
Pacific Loon, Pelagic Cormorant, Brandt's Cormorant, Harlequin Duck, Surf
Scoter, White-winged Scoter, Pigeon Guillemot, Marbled Murrelet, Rhinoceros
Auklet, Cassin's Auklet, Tufted Puffin, Leach's Storm-Petrel, Black-legged
Kittiwake, Glaucous-winged Gull, Heerman's Gull, Western Gull, Black
Oystercatcher, Black Turnstone, Surfbird, Wandering Tattler, Pacific Golden
Plover, American Golden Plover, Bar-tailed Godwit, Rufous Hummingbird,
Northwestern Crow, Chesnut-backed Chickadee, Varied Thrush, Black-throated
Gray Warbler, Black Swift, Vaux's Swift, Olive-sided Flycatcher, Hammond's
Flycatcher, Pacific-slope Flycatcher, Hutton's Vireo, Cassin's Vireo,
Spotted Owl, N. Pygmy Owl, Western Screech Owl, Red-breasted Sapsucker,
Townsend's Warbler, Hermit Warbler and Pine Grosbeak.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and if any Tweeters find
themselves birding in St. Augustine, Florida, we would be happy to offer
similar advice on where to find birds in our area.
Good birding,
