Life on the Outer Coast

This was the week of recurring boat issues, which were hopefully resolved by a serious infusion of cash. New wiring, running light, lower unit oil, throttle cables for the aluminum boat and new throttle cables for the bayliner. Given the fun I was having with boats, it is kind of a wonder that any birds were counted.

The 19th , 20th and 22nd had intensely beautiful sunrises. On the 22nd there was pan ice in Crescent Harbor.
Noticed a male Hooded Merganser on Swan Lake on the 21st in the small area of open water near the 4-way stop.
