Twice over the last week I have observed 15-20 Black
Turnstones on the rocky shorelines of Commencement Bay in
Tacoma along Ruston Way. This species regularly makes its
way through Tacoma every spring, but I need to check my
records from the last few years to see if they are indeed
early this year. It feels like they are two or three weeks
ahead of last year.

Happy birding!
