It’s been one great October thus far! The waterbird highlights are coming every day or two and the woods are producing some great birds! In terms of duck numbers we have had a couple big aythya, scoter, and Long-tailed Duck days. Today was rather spectacular with over 11000 Long-tailed Ducks migrating past the point. The highlights have stolen the show however; Harlequin Ducks, 2 Pacific Loons, 3 Purple Sandpipers, Long-tailed Jaeger, and Sabine’s Gull have all been great. As is usual, Chris Neri has had a couple amazing finds in the woods. A potential first state record, Pacific Wren, and a Green-tailed Towhee have been the most recent highlights. With the strong storms out of the Pacific Northwest, who knows what may turn up next.

Once again, counts every 10 days, minimum, amidst the peak of the migration. Are you counting but just not posting the information? Counting birds twice a month is useless.
This is the same person who posted the same complaint last year.
Please respond this year, at a minimum. Thanks.
How about some more frequent blogs on the counts ?? Those who support WPBO w funds would like to hear more frequently of the counts and sightings.
Thanks in advance
