9/18/19 to 10/5/19 Heading out west, we flew first to San Diego area (Salton Sea, Catalina Island, Botanical
Gardens and other parks), and then to Seattle, WA area to Owl.  We traveled over to Victoria, then down
to Olympic NP and Mount Rainier NP.  After that, we birded around Portland and all over Washington State
with a terrific owl guide.  We had an awesome trip with great weather and picked up some birds we had
never seen before!

9/28/19  Mt. Rainier NP, WA:  We arrived late but were very impressed.  First snow made it a fairyland but
also began to close roads throughout the park.  Our first hike offered us more Sooty Grouse (but not as
close as we had seen at Olympic NP) and Hoary Marmot.
9/29+30/19  Mt. Rainier NP, WA:  Hiking around Mt. Rainier NP, WA:  Varied Thrush and Steller's Jay - both
were common and stunning.
9/29+30/19  Mt. Rainier NP, WA:  American Dipper , Hermit Thrush , Song Sparrow , Canada Jay (Gray Jay),
Golden-crowned Sparrow , Golden-crowned Kinglet , Dark-eyed Junco , and Brown Creeper .
