Tweets,

Just a reminder. There is a morning clam dig this weekend so get out
early to check the beaches. It could be pretty noisy out there.

See you at the Shorebird Festival.

Hi all,

I'm in Grays Harbor for the Shorebird Festival this weekend. I spent some
of yesterday and today scouting locations around the the harbor. Today,
is was just plain wet until afternoon, however the birds were out!

Bottle Beach - today, 20 Red Knots! The tide came in fast this morning.
All the usual shorebirds as well except no big birds.

Tokeland - today, no shorebirds in the marina due to high water. They
were all on the grass lawns around town. Marbled Godwit, Whimbrel,
Short-billed Dowtichers and more! One Red Knot here also.

Ocean Shores, yesterday - old jetty at the base of Damon Point - both
Turnstones. Today, 20 or so Common Terns on the outer beach plus more in the
channel between OS and Westport. Saw more shorebirds today on the golf
course.

Hoquiam STP - 2 Red-necked Phalarope yesterday and today. Ruddy Turnstone
on the middle dike early today near high tide.

I noticed more birders around today so I am expecting the area to be well
covered the next few days. Bring on the rarities and dry weather!

Good birding,

Tim O'Brien
