February 28 - Norh Point, Olympia

In the afternoon, I was downtown and stopped at North Point to see what was in the salt chuck.  I walked from the Olympia Area Rowing club house, to the Hearthfire restaurant, and looped back. It was mostly cloudy, with a south breeze at 5 knots and 47° F.  The most exciting thing I saw on the mudflats at the Superfund site was an adult Western Gull.

There are a lot of Glaucous-winged Gulls and hybrid Western X Glaucous-winged Olympic gulls in this Part of Puget Sound, but this bird looked pretty good for a "pure" Western.

Dark gray mantle, black primary tips, clean white head suggest Western Gull
