Bob and I went with a friend from Blaine up to Semiahmoo on Friday about mid-morning before the worst of the weather came in. On the water we saw Black, White-winged and Surf Scoters, Greater Scaups, Common Goldeneyes, Harlequin Ducks, Ruddy Ducks, Red-Breasted Mergansers, Black Brant, Horned Grebe, Common Loons, DC Cormorants and Buffleheads. At the shoreline we observed Black Turnstones, Sanderlings, Dunlin, and a Western Sandpiper. The Bald Eagle was in the eagle tree and the female Mountain bluebird was hawking insects from driftwood stumps. Chickadees, White-crowned and Song Sparrows and House Finches were picking through weed seeds. A lovely interlude before the storm!
