I was out on Sunday and Monday in Jefferson and Kitsap Counties. I was mostly chasing birds found by others, but did come across some of my own as well. </div>

On Sunday afternoon, I set out and found a couple of Canvasback and a Redhead that have been hanging around at Kitsap Lake. From there, I went almost directly to Port Townsend - North Beach. A Snow Bunting has been seen there (both before and after my visit,
but not during) from the parking lot. </div>

I stayed at Dosewallips State Park for the night, and then did some owling the next morning - picking up a Northern Saw-whet Owl at the Quilcene Fish Hatchery. </div>

Most of the Monday was spent exploring clear-cuts, both in Jefferson and Kitsap Counties. Lots of beautiful pics, if not lots of birds. The highlight was a Sooty Grouse (a tough bird for Kitsap County) on the way up Gold Mountain. I didn't get to the very top.
A decision I do not regret, given the lightning that hit the top of the mountain as I was descending!</div>
