Can anyone out there recommend a hotel-motel spot to stay in Westport? Have friends from e. Canada inbound and want to help them to a good night's rest before pelagic birding.

Then this morning a lot of migrants were around Tiny's Land, north Lake Stevens. Will post to EBird, but the highlights were a fleeting view of a NASHVILLE WARBLER among 6 warbler species for the day (15 individuals), the most since last May. It has been many years since we had this species. Also of note, our only OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER this year in the yard, and I photographed it (2 decent photos headed for flickr). Less notable were double-figures count for PURPLE FINCH, suggesting a movement of local breeders, and a lingering PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER, heard only twice, but the Willow Flycatchers breeding under the power lines seem to have left.
