Here is some information regarding tracking of Bald Eagles from the Fraser River Valley starting in 2018.Gyrfalcon, just curious what you mean by Eagle's yearly hiatus, I've noticed the Eagles are harder to find and sorta lazy right now....

I'll 2nd that!Great stuff. Sunfish?
Today we saw some albacore jumping as well, of course we just had to let them be.That is one of the things that I love about the offshore tuna trips, always the possibility of amazing wildlife. Sometimes an albacore gets in the way of my looking for birds...

I agree with the ID as Baird's and Western sandpipers. The bird in that 4th picture is a bit big to be a sandpiper.Went out to see some birds again this morning (hoping to get back to some fishing next week). The first three pictures are sandpipers of some kind, I’ve got some work to do on my shorebird IDs. My best guess is a Baird’s in the first picture and then a Baird’s on the right of the second pic and a Western on the left. Third is some combination of those.
