I'm so exhausted from travel that I haven't had time to add new blog post but I wanted to let all tweeters know my sightings from Island County in Washington State.
I recently added six new life list birds including a BLACK SCOTER (seen on north side of SR 104 Hood Canal), PACIFIC & YELLOW-BILLED LOONS (Southside of Port Townsend/Keystone ferry terminal), COMMON LOON (Port Ludlow Inn resort lagoon), ANCIENT MURRELET (east side of Coupeville ferry terminal) & BARROW'S GOLDENEYE (southeast side of Clinton ferry terminal deck).

In addition on the Port Townsend/Keystone to Coupeville run, a fellow ferry rider, her daughter & I spotted an Orca breeching off the north west side of the stern. I noted a large flock of gulls circling above the water and honed into the location using my binoculars to see the dorsal fin as it was swimming. A nice welcome to the Pacific Northwest - indeed!
