Nothing New on Commencement Bay Today

Kay and I got out after a movie at the Grand this afternoon looking for a Parasitic Jaeger or Ancient Murrelet from Dash Point, the Brown’s Point Lighthouse, and the log booms on Marine View Drive today. I had hoped to take advantage of the only dry day of the week if the weatherman is correct to add one of these species to my Pierce County year list, but it was not to be.  The Western Grebes at Dash Point today were very far offshore, so no chance to see if the Clark’s was still around.  Very little at all at Brown’s point.  At the log booms there were a good number of gulls on the logs at a near high tide, and a nice flock of mostly Boneparte’s gulls far out on the water, but no jaeger was there to harassing them.  We did pick out one Thayer’s gull.
