Hi all-
This afternoon I spent a few hours at the county line beach in
Richmond Beach [north end of King Co]. Though overall the birding was
slow, I did have a great 10 minute viewing of a LEACH'S STORM-PETREL
flying in the Sound. It fluttered about, occasionally landing and
giving me great scope views until it finally disappeared to the south.

Otherwise, the birds around consisted mostly of California &
Heerman's Gulls, a couple each of Red-necked, Horned & Western
Grebes, and small groups of Rhino Auklets & Surf Scoters.
