Birds in Washington National Parks

We are touring Washington's National Parks, including Mount Rainier NP, Olympic NP, and North Cascades NP. First night in Mount Rainier we hiked around Sunrise Point and saw a juvenile Townshend's Solitaire. What I noticed about it was that its feathers looked like an owl, it was the shape/size of an American Robin, and it had white stripes going down its outer tail feathers. I stopped a guy on the trail who had a big camera hanging around his neck. I asked if he was a birder and if he could help me ID a bird. Sure enough, he knew the name. I got lucky on that one. I also saw a Clark's Nutcracker and Horned Lark.

We went sea kayaking today in Freshwater Bay and saw Bald Eagles, Pigeon Guillemot (breeding colors with cute red feet), a couple specie of gulls, a Great Blue Heron, and (Common Merganser?).
