For those whose happiest moments lie in finding a dusty hidden treasure, the Peninsula's 28 antique and collectible shops as well as bookstores offer many hours of delightful treasure hunting. Fall on the Peninsula is marked by the migration in and out of several notable bird species. Black-Bellied Plovers and other shorebirds are just beginning to show up. Peregrine Falcons have begun to arrive, as have Merlins and other raptors. Depending on the weather, Rough-legged Hawks, Gyrfalcons and Snowy Owls are possibilities.
Passerine migration is in full swing.
Bald Eagles are a regular occurrence, especially at North Head and Leadbetter Point. Send us your e-mail address to be included for notices of Tracy's upcoming bird tours. Events throughout the fall will add enchantment to your visit to the beach. People throughout the world will link intentions by flying kites, Oct. 7-8, as part of One Sky One World , an annual event promoting peace and celebrating cultural diversity. Celebrate the heritage of the Peninsula at the 79th annual Cranberrian Fair , Oct. 13-15, in Ilwaco.
