Subject: [Tweeters] Broad Wings and Elwha, north Peninsula "birding"
Date: Oct 24 13:34:54 2008
From: Wheelan Drew - amazilia55 at yahoo.com


First, I must apologize that though I have been spending time nearly every day at the mouth of the Elwha River, I have been putting little to no energy into birding. A daily presence of 800-1,200 gulls have been frequenting the mouth of the Elwha River, and under normal circumstances I would be out there with my scope, but I must confess that I have not scoped a single Gull in the last month. It seems that about 70% of the gulls are Glaucous-winged/Olympic Gulls, with good numbers of Heermans, and a smattering of Ring-bills, and Californias thrown into the mix. I don't think many Mews are here yet. I drove to Cape Flattery last week, and failed to see any numebrs of Heerman's Gulls that approach the 100 or so at the Elwha. At the Cape I had one distant Jeager,(dark?), 1 fly by Tufted Puffin, beyond Tatoosh Island, and several Common Murres. I also had two unidentified, but probable Marbled Murrelets beyond Tatoosh as well. Also had 106 Black
Oystercatchers at the Cape, by far the most I had ever seen in one roosting flock.
Yesterday I had a Peregrine and a Merlin both hunting at the Elwha. The non-birding surfers got pretty excited to watch them fly at the Dunlin which had been foraging in the tide pools.
On Tuesday I had my first ever Canvasback in the pond on the trail out to the beach at the Elwha.
On Broadwing Hawks, I understand that they have been seen with consistency, if in small numbers, at the hawkwatches here in WA. At the Idaho Bird Observatory they see quite a few more, and were not believed for some years until the "real" birders went and saw them for themselves. I don't know anything about their ocurrance in western WA, but I saw one on August 5th of this year just south of Eugene, Oregon. It seems to me anyway that the possibility must be there that a few fly through the area??
Again I apologize for my lack of vigilance her at the Elwha, and hope that some people get the opportunity to pick through these Elwha Gulls, oh and good numbers of Harlequins have been in the area, though in small congregations. Good birding,
Drew Wheelan

> Hello, I believe the Chelan Ridge site has reported a

> Seems like just a bit more than random errant birds to me.
