Last night at our ABC Birding Club meeting I presented along with Ryan Weise and with the expert help of Bruce Labar a slide show on Washington Seabirds. Here is a link to a PDF of the power point presentation I used. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1CkekblylR_ufUXRB-FS-DCNJgRiXBOs2

Upper Santa Ana River
I chased the not-seen-in-a-few-days Tufted duck to the upper Santa Ana River today, in a short outing before getting ready for hosting guests at our place this afternoon. I learned that this river trail goes many miles along to river all the way to the beach! No Tufted duck found, but enjoyed a good walk, Read More…
Sammish Flats Less the Usual Falcons
Kay, Linda, Ron and I headed out from LaConnor after a less wonderful than usual night at the Channel Lodge, upstairs guests stomping around half the night and no hot water for showers in the whole place this morning, but a nice breakfast and we were off by 10 AM to bird the Sammish Flats Read More…
Happy New Year
Kay and I are enjoying one of our nearly annual traditions, spending a night in La Connor, WA Skagit County, with Ron and Linda Bahr. We come up one day, meet up and get out birding for a few hours. Then we go to the Channel Lodge, go out to dinner in La Connor, and Read More…
San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua
Friday night Kay, Jean and I arrived at the Managua airport and were picked up by Keith, Kay’s brother. We drove to Playa del Sur to his apartment where luckily neighbors were in the US or Christmas and Kay and I are staying in their apartment while Jean stays in Keith’s extra bedroom. So far Read More…

Great Layover in Miami
I had been planning to use a long layover in Miami, enroute from the Yucatan to Nicaragua to try to pad my ABA list with Common Myna, but luck was favoring me and a Northern spindalis has been hanging out at Markham Park less than an hour from the Miami airport. Kay and I rented Read More…
TAS Trip Today
Today I led a trip of 12 TAS birders, mostly ABC grads, to see what we could find in Pierce County on a spectacularly beautiful sunny day. After finding very little except the Queen Eider on the sound over the last 3 days I decided we’d try for fresh water and land birds. We met Read More…
Queen Eider
I got a chance to chase my first new 2015 Pierce County bird this morning, the female King Eider that has been hanging out off Ruston Way in Tacoma since discovered by Bruce Labar a couple of days after I left for my Rio Grande Valley trip. I had to look around a bit but Read More…
Red-Cockaded Woodpecker, Brown-headed Nuthatch and Space Shuttle
Today Kay and I decided that we would add a trip to WG Jones Forest before we went to the Houston NASA Center, and had almost instant success finding her two life birds in the first 20 minutes there. First a Red-cockaded woodpecker called drawing us to see it first perched high on a snag Read More…
