Greeting all -

Went to Ocean Shores today with Charlie Wright and Tracey Norris, primarily to locate the Emperor Goose.

We spent several hours traversing the golf course and couldn't find it - So if anyone relocates it, please post about it!

Other highlights were 8 Snowy Owls at Damon Point, 1 more Snowy Owl on the outer beach south of Taurus Blvd.

The female King Eider was easily seen off Damon Point, and the Blue-gray Gnatcatcher was seen at the base of Damon Point where the old park road ends at the wash-out. Also hanging out with the Gnatcatcher was a nice bright Palm Warbler.

Cheers,
