Funk Bottoms WA (stop giggling! if you haven't been there, you are missing out) 7/18 -- 6:30-7:30 PM, just ahead of the blessed storm Quite a bit of shorebird habitat right near the viewing platform 1.) Common Moorhen --- either a mated pair, or some really close frat buddies; 2.) Sandhill Crane -- at least 22, look to be some young among them 3.) Green Heron -- more than usual, and very vocal; 4.) Great Blue Heron -- 6-7 5.) Shorebirds not-to-be-otherwise-specified-except-not-Killdeer (( snicker )) Also, made it to the Wilderness Center today. Fantastic bookstore.
