Sorry for the late post. On Sunday, Oct 14, Dave Swayne, Sam Woods and I led a Seattle Audubon birding hike to Noble Knob. October has been a good month to observe migrating raptors and the Knob is well situated between two north-south oriented drainages that offers decent views of the migration. On this occasion, we had a good collection, including Golden and Bald Eagle, Sharp-shinned (about a dozen!) and Cooper?s Hawk, Red-tailed and Rough-legged Hawk, a Merlin and a possible Northern Goshawk.

In addition to the target raptors, there were some bonus birds, including a perched Sooty Grouse along the forested trail, one or more Northern Shrike, a late Mountain Bluebird, several Townsend?s Solitaire and a very tame Horned Lark. We were able to stand very close to the lark for great views as it fed in the alpine meadow. At one point, it took a break from feeding to do a little dust bathing:

Two of the lakes below the Knob had small groups of Barrow?s Goldeneye. Then, on what would be our last stop at a pullout on the way out, a Northern Pygmy-Owl flew in to Dave?s calling.

Yesterday, I checked out the high tide roosting flock on the Oyhut game
>
range. Present were hundreds of dunlin and black-bellied plovers, dozens
>
of Western sandpipers, a few least sandpipers, six long-billed dowitchers
>
and seven red- knots. I also flushed a couple of pectoral sandpipers near
>
the western most pond. Of course, predators were also present with a
>
Merlin, a peregrine, harriers, and bald eagles causing some excitement.
>
Also, a northern shrike was hunting among the yards near the West end of
>
Marine View Drive.

About 10:30 this morning a gray phase Gyrfacon was on the upper beach

between the Midway Beach and Warrenton Cannery Road access points. The

blue-gray legs and bill indicated a probable first year bird.

Really.

That's because half the Katydids I've seen here in Washington state have

my daughter Roxanne (known to some as Roxy etc - I call her Rox) down on

Kalaloch beach, just about ready to get drownt. I ,( with my old Peterson

The second Katydid I didn't find (I didn't but Roxydid) turned up at

Wildberry Lake, Mason County - a big fat Fork-Tailed Bush Katydid about 2"

long, looking like a green leaf with legs.Cool.

This summer I've Been Katydid rich down at Indian Island County Park - a

stellar spot for the all-around naturalist - where I've found plenty of

Katydids. First I noted about a million small grasshoppers flying out of

the low Salicornia patches in the salt marshes down there, Several of these

would fly up with every boot step and scatter in all directions, sorta

hard to track, but I finally (with my close-focusing binocs) got good looks

at them : some sort of small Melanoplus grasshoppers - of whatever

species.But in amongst the little grasshoppers was a somewhat smaller

different bug, hard to see but finally revealed to be Katydids (the Slender

Meadow Katydid near as I can tell) - and lots of 'em still around this week

but thinning fast with colder weather.Unlike the big loud Katydids of the

Great Humid East , these guys make a very high-frequency call beyond my

ability to hear. I did hear a crackling (crepitating ) big Carolina

Grasshopper down on the beach though.

There are a number of interesting maritime plants in the salt marshes along

the shore down there, like Plantago maritima, Cakile maritima, and Armeria

maritima if you want to get specific. The Plantago I've noticed on seaside

rocks for years, not knowing what it was ( ol' lazy-eyes me wrote it off as

some kinda grass) but on closer inspection it has succulent leaves, which

along with salty Salicornia, are pickled and eaten by some human's. Cakile
>
is a pretty little beach flower (introduced, but it doesn't look like it's
>
bothering anyone and bee's love it).
>

Then the Sea Thrift - a fine little flower which I've mostly seen on rocky

bluffs and in peoples yards - it domesticates well. But here on Indian
>
Island it grows all over the sandy, gravelly shores of the salt marsh

behind the drift wood barrier along the beach. It's all done blooming
>
(usually in spring) but in an example of autumnal recrudescence, I did find
>
one fresh pink flower amongst the hundred of old dry seedheads.

The Sea Thrift has a wide circumboreal distribution, yet I was surprised to

see it on the documentary film "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" which I watched

on netflix when I got home from the beach. Yup, there it was, growing on

the sea island where Luke Skywalker retired. Clearly visible as Luke, or

somebody, was tip-toeing up the grassy cliffs.

P.S. I forgot to mention that I saw a Short-eared Owl down at Indian Island

the other day flying in to hide in a Dougfir at noon. It appeared to be

fleeing another bird from above, but I never saw what. The little tidal

channels there can be good for shorebirds at appropriate tides, and the

rocks (jetty and shoreline) down by the Portage also get some rocky shore

birds.

P.P.S Rather than being long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, it turns out

that Luke Skywalker retired in Ireland. I checked the film location

credits, so as to be accurate about the thrift. Just sayin'
