[Tweeters] Clallam rarities: Tropical Kingbird, Red-sh Hawk, shorebirds

[Steve Hampton]

Alex Patia and I did a tour of Clallam County spots after our pelagic trip
was cancelled due to tight seas. With Neah Bay still closed due to Covid,
we focused elsewhere. The terrestrial birding turned out to be excellent!
Highlights:

TROPICAL KINGBIRD morning of Sept 8

Shorebirds there included six MARBLED GODWIT, a BAIRD'S SANDPIPER (both
mornings), and WHIMBREL.
Two PAC-SLOPE FLYCATCHERS were still present on the trail to Third Beach on
Sept 9, and BLACK-THR GRAY WARBLERS were seen at two places.
