Surfbirds at Duwamish Head

[Paul Webster]

Walking our loop from home, north on Alki Blvd to California Avenue, 
before heading up California Avenue we spotted about a dozen Buffleheads 
scattered about, further north a half dozen Barrow's Goldeneye, and at 
Duwamish Head a flock of 55 rockpipers, with 8 Black Turnstones and 47 
Surfbirds.  We have spotted Surfbirds along here for several years, but 
this is the largest number we have seen at one time.  Usually the flock 
has totalled about a dozen birds.
