178 Days until the US Open at Chambers Bay

I have been walking Chambers Creek Properties for years. I have been carrying a camera since 2009. With the US Open coming to the Chambers Bay Golf Course, which is part of the property, I have decided to share a picture each day for the 365 days leading up to the tournament. The US Open is scheduled to begin on June 18, 2015. As of today, we are 178 days away.

Thanks to the removal of the North Dock, Brandt's Cormorants (Brandt's Cormorant) have become more difficult to find. I managed to find one earlier this month flying by. I could see the light patch by the base of the bill. Of course, it was easier to get shots, including flying birds, when I knew where they liked to congregate.
