Just wanted to thank all the Tweeters who responded to my plea for
help with the Whooper Swan. We had a successful encounter with it
Monday morning--it was right where it was last reported! (Behind the
church at the Corner of Fir Island Rd and Skagit City Rd.) From the
church parking lot, we were 25 feet from the bird for awesome views!
This early success gave me two full days to bird the area, which I
did. Amazing waterfowl! Deception Pass area was my favorite spot.
I'm hoping you Tweeters will find another rarity (another LB Murrelet
perhaps?) so I'll have an excuse to return. Yes, rare birds do bring
in the "tourist" dollar!
Thanks to all,
Dotty Robbins
