Hi all,

Today my wife and I were birding in the Sequim area. We were surprised to see Eurasian Collared Doves at four different locations between Sequim and the Three Crabs restaurant. All together we saw 9 of them today. There were four in the 600 block of Evans Rd, seven near 4700 Sequim-Dungeness Way, another one near 4400 Dungeness Hwy, and another single at the corner of the Dungeness Hwy and Woodcock Rd.

While on the grounds of the Olympic Game Farm, we had a flock of 8 Common Redpolls in an alder tree near the observation tower there.

Yesterday morning we had a single Palm Warbler in a flock of about 40 Yellow-rumped Warblers. These birds were in a small row of wax myrtles just west of the intersection of Marine Drive and W Hill St. This is the road that goes to the pulp mill.

thanks,
