Glad to see the bird-watching activity!  I live on a sailboat near the San Juan
Islands in Washington (AC not DC) and have seen the following more unusual
birds among many others.

    Harlequin Duck
    Oldsquaw
    Gold Eagle
    Bald Eagle
    Bonaparte's Gull
    Kingfisher
    Blue Heron
    Rhinocerous Auklet
    Surf scoter
    Goldeneye
    Hooded Merganser
    Canvasback

Does anyone know any odd/interesting facts about any of the above?  I seem to
see more water fowl than any other types (maybe I just don't look as hard on
land).
