Pacific North West in June? (1 Viewer)

You may find my trip report from last year useful:

I was in that area in June, so it should provide a few ideas. I'd very much recommend a pelagic from Westport, if you're able to fit it in, although the scheduled trip is right at the end of June next year:

Not sure what you mean about June being no good!

Thanks Andrew
Pelagic looks too late for me but your list is really going to help. June - too late for singing, too early for migrants (generally) but, given that it will be a whole new set of birds for me, I really shouldn't grumble.

It's a great resource for events and classes etc.

Also, the store in Burien (West Seattle), Wild Birds Unlimited, has a little club, and they schedule outings together (I think every weekend) but you could give them a call.
I live right on a river, three stories up, with lots of sky and foliage, 20 miles South of town. I've been in this spot since last April, and I have to say, we have plenty of life and variety here... with a marvelous, seasonal rotation. You never know what you'll see in the morning.
Even in the dead of Winter, I have Juvenile Bald Eagles, Cormorants, Hummingbirds, Goldeneyes, Canadians, Mergansers, Widgeons, Osprey, Red Tailed Hawks, Stellar jays, and sundry little fellows... Sparrows, Finches, Varied Thrushes, Robins, Chickadees.... ALL, just in the last few days.
I think it's a marvelous place to visit. I do envy you going to San Francisco though. I grew up there, and I've heard they've done some wonderful things to make a walking tour more enjoyable.
Best of luck

Bird up and down the coast....you will fine the weather wonderful and many water birds. Also, a pelagic tour is still possible as they are leaving from Newport oregon all the time till late sept or early Oct... If you are birding all the way down to SF, you will hit newport... jim
