Jason Miller and Ken Brown are hoping to do Mason County Big Days in each month of 2022. John Riegsecker and I joined them on the Jan day, and we all had a great day. Starting at Jason’s family Skokomish Valley Farms at 7:30 and making many stops in their side of the county, we managed 85 species, with 81 seen or heard by all. Highlights were the Glaucous Gull that remained at Eell’s Trout Hatchery, two separate Ruffed Grouse, a county lifer for John, and good fellowship and pretty good weather for the whole day. Here is the eBird Trip report link.

I know I’ll miss the Feb day as I’ll be travelling, but hope to join up for many of the remaining Big Days in 2022.
