Hi All: While waiting for the ferry at the Pt Defiance terminal at 5:30 pm, 5 sandhills flew from the NE headed SW, perhaps toward Nisqually. They were only 200 ft above the trees. Only 1 rhino, 1 Caspian and assorted gulls on the crossing.
This morning red-necked phalaropes and 100+ California gulls were feeding in a rip off the Tahlequah dock.
