Another Visit to Tongue Point

All it takes is a wee bit of sun to push us out the door to look for some shore birds. We took a drive back to the Salt Creek Recreation Area and Tongue Point to see who was at home. While it was no one new, I did get a few new looks at a few old friends. One of the stars of today post is the Black Oystercatcher above.

Tongue Point at the Salt Creek Recreation Area

A bit farther westward along the coast of the Juan de Fuca Strait is the Salt Creek Recreation Area. This is a nice campground on a bluff at the ocean. At one end, is Tongue Point where one can walk out to the rocks next to the sea. From there, we could look down to the small rocky, shell littered beach to see a few birds. The one above is a Black Turnstone.
