Today Bruce and I headed for one last day at Sunrise before it closes for the winter. We are late, looks like it closed already, when we got there the gate was down just past the turnoff to White River Campground. As an alternative we went up to Chinook Pass by Lake Tipsoo and birded there, and on several stops on the way back down, ending our mountain birding at Crystal Ski Area. Very few birds were seen, and we headed back to Tacoma. Quick stops at the Gull Bathing Spot and the new path to the mouth of the Puyallup river showed the usual gulls, a stop at Marine Park yielded my Pierce FOY Black Turnstone, and we ended by looking over the Point Defiance Park Gig Harbor overlook BOGU flock for PAJA without success. Home by 2 PM and the BLTU gave me 212 Pierce species for 2017, tying my prior high from 2015. With 2 1/2 months to go I should find something new to set a new personal best Pierce year list, hopefully soon.
