[Tweeters] Neah Bay!

[Steve Hampton]

Lovely day at Neah Bay today. Shout out to the Makah people -- at least
four locals came up to us and said "welcome back!" and another waved
happily thru her window.

Birding was lovely -- no major rarities to report. Lots of loons, grebes,
scoters, Harlequins, Long-tailed Ducks, etc. A Cassair Junco at Butler's
Motel (yes, the feeders are maintained and active). Neah Bay town and bay
list is here:

Also had a Rough-legged Hawk in Wa'atch Valley.

Spoke with Nancy at Butler's. The motel is open for business, but currently
limited to only three rooms. This may open up more in the future. Hobuck
Beach Cabins are also open for business.

A word on the roads:  Hwy 112 is closed part way in, so you have to go thru
Crescent Lake. That doesn't change the time much. However, a detour around
Sekiu is not so great. We spent 30 minutes stopped behind a flagger on the
way back.

good birding,
