Hello Tweets,

We have just updated our photo website with some photos taken yesterday during our trip to the coast. These photos include Buff-breasted Sandpipers from both the Oyhut Wildlife Area at Ocean Shores and Midway Beach Rd., a Pectoral Sandpiper a Midway Beach Rd., a Clark's Grebe at the Hoquiam STP, and Pacific Golden Plovers along the outer beaches at Ocean Shores.

The Pacific Golden Plovers were the first of our photos of the day and due to limited lighting and drizzle the photos didn't come out as good as we wanted. The flock of 5 birds were also very active and were never photographed all together. The Pectoral Sandpiper a Midway Beach Rd. was foraging in slightly muddy area so much of the mud was caked onto it's bill,which made the bill look strange.

All photos taken yesterday can be accessed at the following link: http://www.pbase.com/godwit/recent_photos/



Sincerely,
