Hi Tweeters,

There are four things that really turn me on in the birding world:
shorebirds, pelagic birds, raptors, and anything that is in active
migration. Sea watches essentially cover three of those four facets so I
fed my obsession this morning and visited the North Head Lighthouse at Cape
Disappointment State Park in Pacific County. David Irons and Shawneen
Finnegan were my cohorts today. The 7 hour sea watch produced 3 (three)
MANX SHEARWATERs, 9 Parasitic Jeagers, and healthy numbers of many other
species including locally unusual species like Clark's Grebe. A link to
the ebird list is attached as well as that from a sea watch at the same
location on May 19. Although no earth shatteringly rare species, totally
fun birding!

Keep your ears and eyes alert for everything.
