Hi Tweets,

At 1:30 today off of the Seattle-Bainbridge Island ferry I had nice looks at
a Leach's Storm-Petrel. Perhaps this is the same individual reported
previously near Edmonds. I spotted it just off the bow of the boat so I
quickly grabbed my binoculars and watched it for a few minutes as it flew
slowly northward in the direction of West Point. At the time the ferry boat
was traveling west and it was on an approximate line between West Point and
Alki Point. Although I guess I would have preferred the bird be a few more
miles to the west in Kitsap County, it was still nice to see it flying over
the waves of Puget Sound.

Add me to the list of observers of late Ospreys. On Sunday, I had one
flyover at the south end of Bainbridge Island.

Cheers and good birding with hopefully with dry optics,
Brad
