We enjoyed a good day in Port Angeles today for the Olympic Peninsula
BirdFest.
My group had the following highlights:
VESPER SPARROW at Ediz Hook, only the 9th Clallam Co record on eBird. It
was just east of the radio tower. There is also a Lapland Longspur and a W
Meadowlark in that area. See eBird for pics by others.
The Elwha River Mouth featured a female MOUNTAIN BLUEBIRD and 3 species of
loons feeding very near shore at the river mouth.
A YELLOW-BILLED LOON just off the tidepool rocks, very near shore, at Salt
Creek/Tongue Point.
Looking forward to a beautiful day out there again tomorrow!
