Hi all, I don't have a full trip yet and like to go with a full group of
12, so I thought I'd put a wider note out. If you're not a WOS member
that's fine since there's several openings. Wednesday's weather is looking
cloudy but not necessarily rain. If we get some sun breaks, we should get
some good singing. I think some of the birds are as ready for spring as we
are. I've been hearing Hutton's Vireos and Brown Creepers starting to ramp
up and some funny early songs from a couple of Pacific Wrens.



Join Ed Swan, author of the newly revised "The Birds of Vashon Island," on a
half-day trip around Vashon. We'll bird going across the water on the 8:25am
Fauntleroy-Vashon ferry (contact Ed for carpool arrangements), hopefully
seeing Brant and Rhino Auklets on the way over. All three cormorants,
grebes, sea ducks and Harlequin Duck await us at the Vashon dock. We'll
check out Tramp Harbor for four loon species and Eared Grebe with nearby
Virginia Rail. A stop at Fisher Pond will provide Wood Ducks and other
freshwater species. We'll opportunistically look for other birds from there.
