Hi Tweeters,
Bill and I spent Tuesday birding from Grays Harbor to Tokeland. En route we found 15 species of shorebirds as follows:
Hoquiam ST plant: Killdeer
Bottlebeach (incoming tide from 10 to 11:30 am): Marbled Godwit (hundreds), Black-bellied Plover (100-200), Short-billed Dowitcher (20-30), Semi-palmated Plover (1), Western Sandpiper (20), Sandlerling (30), Least Sandpiper (a handful), Dunlin (1)
Westport: Wandering Tattler (2)
Midway Beach where there is always a surprise or two: Greater Yellowlegs (2), Wilson's Phalarope (3), Wilson's Snipe (1)
Graveyard Spit: Marbled Godwits (15) and Whimbrel (6)
Tokeland: Marbled Godwits, Whimbrel, misc. peeps and Willits (6)

All those shorebirds would have been satisfying enough, but there were also many hundreds of Common Murre in the channel between Westport and Ocean Shores, three species of cormorant, the usual myriad numbers of Brown Pelicans and gulls.
At Ocean Shores, where we stayed, there were thousands of Sooty Shearwaters flying by close to shore both Monday and Tuesday evenings. It was an eventful birding trip, though foggy and cold most of Tuesday.

Happy birding, Charlotte Byers, Seattle
