I'm just the messenger here. Today there were three reports of Brown
Pelicans around Port Townsend, spanning morning to afternoon, involving
anywhere from one to 12 birds. Presumably they are here. I see there was a
report of one of their attendants, a Heermann's Gull, from Port Angeles.

I was birding small country roads south of town, which were positively
teeming with Wilson's Warblers, Pacific-slope Flycatchers, and Black-headed
Grosbeaks. There were also fair numbers of Orange-crowned and Black-thr
Gray Warblers, Western Tanagers, and Swainson's Thrushes, and one to a few
of Warbling and Cassin's Vireos, Olive-sided Flycatchers, Yellow-rumped
Warblers, Common Yellowthroats, and a MacGillivray's Warbler. Nearly
everything in song.

good birding,
