This morning I walked along the shore, from Brackett's Landing to Shell Creek. There was a nice low tide. When I came to another stream just a little north of Shell Creek I walked out to the surf. I encountered a single Semipalmated Plover. There were a lot of California Gulls, an immature Bald Eagle and an Osprey.

I counted at least 17 Killdeers at the Edmonds Marsh, and 8 Least Sandpipers. There were likely many more of both.

Also two Rhinoceros Auklets off the fishing pier.

All in all I had a very nice walk!
