Today I counted 9 Purple Martins in Edmonds, at the Marina. They were all roosting on various masts. I heard their chirping and then saw them.

In addition there was a lowtide and I was able to walk north from the Ferry Terminal to a point where all the Gulls hang out. A very good spot. There were many Bonaparte's Gulls, Heermann's Gulls and California Gulls. I think this would be a great place to look for unusual Gulls. I also saw a Pelagic Cormorant, an Osprey and a bunch of Brewer's Blackbirds.
