Hello Tweets,
We have just placed many more photos onto our website specifically of a few of our good sightings taken yesterday from our trip to Ocean Shores. These photos include a Rough-legged Hawk photographed in flight near the Hoquiam STP. All our other photos were taken at Ocean Shores including an "Aleutian"Cackling Goose,Rock Sandpiper and Pacific Loon. The Rock Sandpiper was quite cooperative,as it foraged at close range in heavy debris on the upper beach and is somewhat a different habitat than we normally see them in. The bird appeared very hungry,as it searched for grubs,etc. in amongst the debris,but occasionally posed for us too. It was nice seeing the Pacific Loon again at the Cabana Pond since we normally see this species at a much father range,as well as usually away from freshwater areas.
Our photos can be accessed at one of the 2 following links:
