Great summary! Identifying gulls is certainly a challenge.

It’s such a good movie

Went on another pelagic trip out of Westport on Saturday. Lots of great birds, including two Scripp’s Murrelet (no pictures unfortunately) which are quite rare to see this far north (and that was a new bird for me!) Black-footed Albatross Sabine’s Gull Sooty Shearwater Flesh-footed...

8x42 is pretty standard for birders. Budget plays a big roll in what you end up getting. Some good reviews here, though it’s a bit dated. https://www.audubon.org/gear/binocular-guide I have a pair of Nikon Monarch M7s that have been great for me.

The whole part about their platform being set up to fall if the barricade was disturbed is wild. That’s not a game of chicken I would want to play

Got my scans back for some film I shot while driving across Washington last month. Hwy 2 is becoming one of my favorite drives.

They look more like house finches to me. Tail is long for pine siskin and the beak looks more finch-like. But that’s just me.

A few birds from the pond this morning.

what an incredible trip. So many great birds!

A few pictures from my drive across the state this past few days.

One more from the east side, Say’s Phoebe.

Rough-legged Hawk

Amazing! That’s a bird I really want to see
