<div dir="ltr">Don't forget Ediz Hook. Easy looks at Harlequin Ducks, Black Turnstone and Black-Bellied Plovers. Often you can score all three species of Cormorant, Loon and Grebe. Common Goldeneye and sometimes a stray Barrows. Brant are likely, Red-Breasted Mergansers and Surf Scoters. Just after passing the Mckinley Paper Mill, find a parking area on the right and scope the boom logs on the inner harbor. Then look across the road and back to the Mill and there is an area where you can easily and safely walk to the top of the bouldered seawall revetment and scope out to the Strait. Long-Tailed Ducks are usually spotted there. Drive out the end and scope the inner bay and Strait from there. Grab the occasional pull out along the way. On the way back stop at the Mill pond and look for Hooded Mergansers. Then walk the trail that is on the opposite side of the road from the Mill Pond back towards PA and look for a wintering group of Yellow-Rumped Warblers.<div><br></div><div>If I had a day I would probably do Ediz Hook, the Mouth of the Elwha and the Salt Creek Campground including Tongue Point. <br><div><br></div><div> </div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Jan 31, 2026 at 12:11 PM Judith A.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">Ann, there is a wonderful birding area, part of the Washington State Birding Trail, just west of Port Angeles. Take Highway 112, turn right on Place Road, and take it to the water. At Dike Access, turn right
and park. It’s where the Elwha enters the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Since the dams were removed, it has become a beautiful estuary again. Enjoy!<u></u><u></u></span></p>
