Hello, The female KING EIDER was around the pilings as described in the
previous post and pictures may be seen in the "recent additions" folder
of my website at:

Shorebird numbers in northern Grays Harbor have begun to obviously increase this week after dropping off to near zero post spring migration (except for as many as 232 MARBLED GODWITS and 32 WHIMBREL around Bill's Spit for much of the last 2 weeks of June).
Small numbers of Black-bellied Plovers, Western and Least Sandpipers were evident all this week and a SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER was on Rainy Island at Hoquiam today. 300 or so medium sized shorebirds (assumed dowitchers) were seen at a great distance coming in from the north early on the morning of 1 July.
Thanks,
Keith Brady
Olympia, WA
