[Tweeters] Jefferson-Kitsap Blog updates

[Tim Brennan via Tweeters]

Hey Tweets,

I made two quick runs - one to Kitsap, and one to Jefferson - during October. The Kitsap trip<https://jkcountybirding.blogspot.com/2024/10/october-6th-mission-accomplished.html> was successful in getting me over 150 species for the year, with some skillful help exploring Peninsula no Peninsula. The Jefferson trip<https://jkcountybirding.blogspot.com/2024/10/october-17th-jefferson-half-day.html> was successful in putting my sense of humor to the test, and I think it is intact. The bird of interest for that trip was an Eared Grebe that has been continuing at Kah Tai Lagoon. It has been continuing, distant, and diving. I'm certain that I got pictures of an Eared Grebe out there, but unfortunately, not based on any of the pictures! I left Kah Tai Lagoon in an optimistic search of Jefferson County farmland for, among other things, the possibility of a Northern Shrike. One was found two days later, at Kah Tai. 😄

Both trips provided me with great scenery and great company. Many thanks to friendly eBird reviewers for taking the time to look at grainy pictures of grebes, and for sharing their understanding of posture and plumage. Hopefully that Eared Grebe might stay out there and give me another crack at it in November!

Cheers,

Tim Brennan
