Today, 10/25/2012, Michael Barry and I ventured to Neah Bay & Cape Flattery from Sequim. The weather was cooperative. Although we saw most of the "expected" ducks, gulls, alcids and passerines and a few shorebirds, the highlights were: Ruffed Grouse -- on side of highway, one mile west of the Hoko River on SR 112; Northern Shrike -- Wa'atch River Valley; 15+ FOTS Red Crossbills -- Hobuck Beach Resort; recent roadkill Northern Saw-whet Owl -- on SR 112 in Joyce.

Good birding!
