Hummers, Bandits and “rivet rivet rivet”.

We stayed a few nights a the Elwha Dam RV park where they have made a big effort to encourage wildlife into their park.








Allens and rufous hummingbirds
were regular visitors to the feeders and many finches including the very colourful goldfinch.








We also came across this fellow, working the shoreline, feeling under rocks with his fingers for crab. He did not seem much bothered by Carol and I but when Charro had a look he waddled back to some rocks for cover.








One unfortunate side effect of the parks green policy was their healthy and very very loud frog population. These guys could rivet for the USA and were proud to demonstrate this all night long.



We had forgotten about memorial day, a big US holiday and many of the campsites were booked out so we could not stay on. We moved on to Salt Water Creek where there are first come first served sites. The view over the Juan De Fuca sound was breathtaking and we saw someone who holidays with his cockatoo.














Charro had a couple of long trolley rides including one around a huge 19c gunnery bunker.
