Friday, January 27. I had some business in Aberdeen so I spent the late afternoon at Ocean Shores.  The Emperor Goose was present at the golf course on the fairway near the driving range with usual group of Greater White-fronted Geese (2) and Canada Geese (8). Later I went to Damon Point.  There were reported eight different owls there but I only saw 2 on the right side of the point walking from the parking lot 3/4 of the way down the beach. Further adventures saw birds at the Jetty but the light was so bad with the setting sun that identification was difficult (for me).  Good birding all.  Roger Hunt.
