Port Orchard, July 2nd 2011

Like the previous times I have visited Port Orchard and stayed with the in-laws, I wake early in the morning to head out through the neighborhood while the rest of the family sleeps in. Though I didn't have the alarm clock bird, Pacific Wrens, waking me, it was still a joy to hear the local birds. Hairy Woodpeckers, Robins, and especially the Varied Thrushes calling in the early dawn light are a joy.

The only birds I could get a shot of were Song Sparrows.

Also seen were Black-capped and Chestnut-backed Chickadees and the occasional Violet-green Swallows flying by.

Later in the day we have scheduled a trip to Theler Wetlands. Can't wait!
