sybil and i headed out to ocean shores today to take advantage of the amazing weather...the emperor goose was on the east side of pt brown blvd and then flew to the west side of the blvd behind the baptist church by golf hole 13..at damon pt there were hoards of folks enjoying 5-6 snowies and at the jetty the surfbirds, rock sandpipers and black turnstones were pushed in close by the tide..hard to beat with bright sun and 60 degree clear weather...not often does one get a photo of a snowy owl with mt ranier or the olympic mts shining in the backround!! steve kohl, brush prairie,wa
