Wife and I are flying out on the 9th, leave on the 24th. Planning on
about 10 mornings of birding (maybe into some afternoons). We have the
Birding Washington by McNair-Huff and ordered the Washington Birding
Trail map from Seattle Audubon. We are get to as many of the sites
listed for Puget Sound section and the Olympic Peninsula sections as we
can within reason and whatever shows up when we get the Birding Trail
map within a couple of hours max driving time from Seattle.

Specific site suggestions, whether listed in McNair-Huff or the birding
trail map or not would be appreciated. Figure we will be lucky if we
see a small fraction of the area in that short time but besides the
common western birds that we expect (have been on birding trips to
northern CA and southern CO (around Gunnison)), so have seen a lot of
the western birds by now). We would like to see as many western shore
birds, especially any rarities that are around, as possible. Also if
possible, at least a puffin, an auk and as many of the murres as
possible without taking a pelagic trip. Am interested in Ferries that
might have something show up.

All responses will be deeply appreciated,

Thanks,

Jaeger (J G Shepherd) and spouse
