I went down to Pacific County for Thursday and Friday of last week. Outside of some of the usual arrivals, there were a few nice highlights.
Soras - One just across the county line on Highway 6, and a couple more the next day at Potter's Slough.
Grouse! - Ruffed - also just across the county line, and Sooty off of Trap Creek Lane, up a little side hill where I also had a pair of Western Bluebirds.
American White Pelican and Sandhill Crane - both flyovers at Potter Slough.
Weather was beautiful! Not much to complain about ... although I keep missing a Long-billed Curlew that seems to be at home out in Tokeland. Sure would be nice if they were bigger. Maybe that's why I'm not seeing them? Lol. The year list is at 147, and it has continued to be a nice vehicle for getting me into the little corners of the county.
