I was out near Sequim for a conference for three days this week and managed to do some birding. Our conference was at the Jamestown Skallam Conference center along the south shore of Sequim Bay. Also managed to make it out to Dungeness Spit for an hour or two on one day. Highlight was a male EURASIAN WIGEON along the south shore of Sequim Bay. Other birds (42 species) seen were.
