Heya Tweets,

I've continued to poke away at Jefferson County (183 species for the year) and Kitsap County (141). Three single day trips in August are up in the blog:

https://jkcountybirding.blogspot.com/2024/08/august-7th-booby-prizes.html - A nice trip out to chase the Red-footed Booby in Jefferson County.
https://jkcountybirding.blogspot.com/2024/08/august-11th-mount-townsend.html - A lovely hike up Mount Townsend, with zero new birds added!
https://jkcountybirding.blogspot.com/2024/08/august-21st-shorebird-trip.html - Late August trip that wasn't as productive as I'd hoped, but I did chip away a little bit at both Jefferson and Kitsap.

Enjoy!
