Hi Tweets
.at 2:45pm today I saw one Snow Bunting on the beach approx ? mile
north of the Best Western Lighthouse Inn, just north of Ocean Shores. It was
trying to stay in the lee of a pile of driftwood and kelp, out of the cold
wind, but my dog flushed it before I saw it and it flew with no problem. It
didn?t fly far before hunkering down behind more debris.

Also, I can?t remember if I posted this or not
.on December 5th, I saw an
immature Snowy Owl out on the beach north of the Shilo Inn, that is the
Chance ala Mer access road. It was perched on a dune with the dune grass
behind it and the setting sun was coloring everything a pink-gold hue. It
was a welcome sight in the midst of our 5-day power outage.
