Distancing my self about 5 miles from most humans I found some good birds

out on the water between Point Whitehorn, Ferndale and Sucia Islands.

Good numbers of : Long-tailed Ducks (18), Western Grebes (20-30),

Rhinoceros Auklets (20), and Marbled Murrelets (2) - possibly 4. I did see

two fly by after seeing the first two.

Hey Tweets, here are a couple notable birds i?ve gotten while spending time
>
up on Orcas trying to avoid the virus :/
>
>
3/19, Turtleback Mt.
>
- 1 Adult Golden Eagle, my second one here in about 3 years. Surprisingly
>
flew over chased by some ravens during our decent from the West Overlook.
>
>
3/19, Wildwood Loop
>
- 1 Northern Saw-whet Owl tooting non-stop from behind our cabin.
>
>
3/20, Coho Preserve
>
- 1 American Dipper foraging in the creek in the Coho Preserve. Dippers
>
are very rare in the San Juan?s except at a few spots around Moran State
>
Park.
>
>
3/20, Turtleback Mt: Hike up to the West Overlook with my dad looking for
>
owls.
>
- 1 Western Screech-Owl constantly singing from forest below Ship Peak.
>
Certainly unexpected given that Turtleback is made up of relatively thick
>
coniferous forest.
>
- 1 Northern Saw-whet Owl tooting a couple times down by the screech-owl.
>
>
3/21, Wildwood Loop
>
- Singing Savannah Sparrows!
>
- and plenty of Violet-green Swallows.
>
>
Good birding, Alex Sowers
