Well, it's that time of year again, a fall visit to the Pacific Northwest!!! This will mark my fourth year in a row visiting Seattle. Aug 12', Sept 13', and Oct 14' & 15'. I'm visiting my best friend and his wife again since they moved out there from Ohio. It's a great trip, and since they live in downtown Seattle, I am limited on my travels for birding. So no trips to the mountains, islands, coasts or pelagics, but I"m getting pretty good at city parks and Edmunds pier/marsh.
Current ABA list list: 571
Last one seen: Clark's Nutcracker 9/10/15
Lifers needed:
- Varied Thrush code 1, will Discovery Park payoff finally??
- Northwest Crow code 1, ferry/car trip to Gardiner
- Parasitic Jaeger code 1, at Discovery Park flying off the coast maybe
- Red-Breasted Sapsucker code 1, again the pines at Discovery park, recent sightings
- Marbled Murrelet code 1, Edmunds pier/ferry ride
- Cassin's Vireo code 1, city parks, one of three from Solitary Vireo split "Blueheaded-Plumbeous-Cassin's."
I'd like better looks at:
Pigeon Guillemot
Rhinoceros Guillemot
Next up: Sleepless in Seattle???
