Many of the wintering rarities continue as of yesterday/today: -Yellow-billed Loon at the Ilwaco Harbor (as of 3/17)-4-5 Snowy Owls at Damon Point in Ocean Shores (as of 3/17)-Female King Eider as scoped from where the Damon Point access road drops into the sand, Ocean Shores (as of 3/18)-Emperor Goose maybe 200yds south of Canal St & Lewis St, Ocean Shores (as of 3/17)-Tufted Duck at the slough just west of Round Lake (Lacamas Lake complex) near Camas (as of 3/18) We had brief glimpes of a few rock pipers (including Black Turnstones) at the Pt. Brown Jetty in Ocean Shores, but missed Rock Sandpiper. The were ZERO godwits in Tokelands, but a few Willets, several Black-bellied Plovers and 40 some Brant. Both Tundra and Trumpeter swans were at Brady Loop Rd. Single Red Phalaropes were in the Tokeland, Ilwaco and Westport harbors. Stefan SchlickHillsboro, OR
