I heard the Snowy Owls are back at Damon Point, and boy are they. Weather sucked but i went anyway. I got wet, it was cold, i forgot to check the tide chart and it was high tide. oops... but i forgot all about that after the first owl sighting, and then another and another, 10 in total. They didn't care about the rain. They were in pairs and even 3 side by side in places. Not too many crowds today either. Long drive for short hike but it was worth it to me...

Lot's o' nice birds you got to see! The Surf scoters were doing the same thing in front of my place the other day - ornery males jousting for position as Top Duck.

Beautiful! What agency manages Damon Pt.? Lame request for info, I know. I remember it as a state park, but my little google searches are offering no good info and the Grays Harbor County site is of little help as well. Thanks Jonathan

[Hikingqueen]

It is state park but there are no facilities or signs or anything..it's really confusing..

[Jonathan Pryce]

Thanks!
