On Sunday August 10th we spent the day on a whale watching trip in Puget Sound that started in Bellingham and ended up as far north as Vancouver, British Columbia. As well seeing a small pond of orcas we had a reasonable day for pelagic birds - Pigeon Guillemot, Common Murre, Marbled Murrelet, Rhinoceros Auklet - but alas no Tufted Puffin.
On Monday August 11th we visited the Seattle Aquarium where we got to see Cassin's Auklets, Rhinoceros Auklets and Tufted Puffin at close quarters!
