Today after leaving our rental place in Tacoma Kay and I made two quick stops on the Ruston Way waterfront and before we turned in to park in the public lot beside the Lobster Shop had sighted the immature Snow Goose feeding on the lawn with a flock of Canada geese, and one stubby-billed smaller Cackling Goose. Barrow’s goldeneye, Brant’s and Pelagic Cormorants, a Pigeon Guillemot, Horned Grebe, Surf Scoters and Mew Gulls were the other species of note here and further on down near the new development and parked ship. This stop was a nice way to pass time until lunch from Infinite Soups, a great place for Vegan soups as well as many other soup options, and a glass of red wine from Corina Bakery and seeing a documentary about life in Irqn called Jafar Panahi’s Taxi at the Grand Cinema.
Tomorrow off to the Okanagan area with Ken’s birding class for a 3-day weekend foray. It will be his last class trip, as he is stepping down after leading this twice a year class for about 30 years!
