June 23 Twin Harors State Park, Grays Harbor Co., Wash. 4 mi S Westport, sea level Camped at first place - collecting at second. The day dawned cloudy, but it cleared & got sunny 'hot about 9. Collected from 8-11, got 7 sparrows. Not much luck till sun came out. Shined all afternoon, last night's + today's birds. New birds today: Bewick Vireo, 1Pt. of Morning Dove, + Yellowthroat, in the afternoon it clouded up, and about 6 began to rain. Looks like an all-night June 24 job. Apparently rained all night - when I woke up it was still dripping from the trees. Everything was wet, so I left. Drove on Rt. 101 up the coast of the Olympic Peninsula, arrived in Port Angeles just in time for the 2 o'clock ferry. Saw Whore + Blaccons-winged Gull on the crossing. Drove up Vancouver Island to Twin Firs Provincial Park, about a mile north of Ladysmith. Can hear Ohio-backed Thrush - the park is very nice, fire traps, a stream nearby. The area does not look good for White-crowns, however. Tomorrow will look around, perhaps collect. Took a short walk in the evening saw: Oregon Junco, Juncker, Robin, Flitcher, White-crowned Sparrow, altho the area is quite swampy, I heard no frogs.
