86 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 86 days away.

Today's Picture:

The Rhinoceros Auklet (Cerorhinca monocerata) is a fairly plain bird overall, but there is one interesting component of their appearance. There is actually a horn-like protrusion along the bill. If you want to know why it's name includes rhinoceros, it's because of the horn.
