Common Loon sighting
It is not uncommon to spot one or two pair of common loons during the spring or fall at Point Richmond Beach. In fact for about two weeks during this time period it is common to see them swimming and diving off of the beach. The Loon in the picture was spotted around noon, midday near the center of the beach on November 8th. Other recent sightings of interest have been a sea lion here and there, as well as Dall's porpoise intermittently between our beach and Vashon Island. No Orca have been sighted this fall, to my knowledge, though there have been several Orca sightings about 10 miles away at the north end of Vashon Island.
