I saw eight WESTERN GREBES just off the breakwater in Shilshole Bay this
morning about 10AM, viewed from the Golden Gardens Park parking lot.
First I've seen this season. Four DOUBLE CRESTED CORMORANTS sightings,
only one bird seen at a time. Lots of Gulls, a large flock, maybe a 100
yards long just off the beach, GLAUCOUS WINGED and hybrids, some
CALIFORNIA GULLS and a few MEW GULLS. A small flock (12?) of brown
ducks with white specula flew by too far out to ID and a RED NECKED
GREBE over the weekend.
