Thanksgiving weekend and we are still waiting for water.....
the log bay just keeps getting dryer, and dryer....
as does the first bay. No signs of the little springs that used to trickle into here.
We are hearing a few gulls and the occasional call of an eagle, but they are way over on the other side by the river.
Today was the first day.....
when we walked over at the Kilby side, that we saw a gull, in this case a young Glaucous-wing, eating a dead salmon - so that was a good sign....
and further along, this one, I think a Glaucous-wing cross, also eating a salmon. As for eagles, we didn't even hear one.
it is looking like fall, with the leaves changing colour and we know there are salmon going up the Chehalis and into the fish hatchery....will try to get there in the next day or so.
As far as other birds, there are some Canada Geese flocks flying around, a few ducks at the estuary, including some Northern Shoveler, but even the regulars like Song Sparrows and Towhee are making themselves scarce right now for some reason.
