Harlis, Brant and Scoters Oh My!

[Dustin07]

Scouting some new spots last week and I counted 13 harlis, more brant then I could count, and sea ducks galore. I took some pics but you can't really make out the birds, it was all on my phone.

But I am pretty happy with my new spots Funny how I usually find more time to get out to certain locations AFTER season ends (or as my luck as it, usually the LAST weekend of the season).


Brant just make the coolest sound I think.

Hopefully it holds true for next year.  No pressure for two months and the birds are found almost everywhere.  A saw some good sized flocks of brant this morning and had about 6 harlies about 20 ft away. Cool seeing all the birds.

yeah it's a good time of year to get out and see them. The harlis were beautiful. all paired up except 1.

Going boating this weekend and definitely taking my camera. I cruise around Deception pass and the islands. Always see harlies

Lots of Oldsquaw still around as well.

[Dustin07]

yup I saw some squaw too, but not nearly as much as I did back in Nov-Dec.

Good! I've never shot any of the Sea Ducks or a Brant before...

I picked up a new MLB for getting on the Old Squaws a little better for next season.  Should be fun.  I think I am also going to hit the March 1-10 brant season in B.C. for some additional fun if everything works out.

[Dustin07]

which MLB did you get, the classic with the little wave shield?

[h2ofowlr]

MLB Classic with the spray skirt around the cockpit.
