Tweets,

Now that the shorebirds are passing through I thought I would check out the
Montlake Fill at lunch (didn't have any binoculars, though):

Big Pond (mostly free of loosestrife...)
1 - Dowitcher (Short-billed or Long-billed)
1 - peep (looks like a Least Sandpiper, but no binoc's and little experience)
1 - Killdeer
1 - scaup (maybe a Ring-necked Duck)
lots of Gadwalls and Canada Geese (many young, with protective parents!) and
a few Coots with young
Non-native note: heard a bullfrog - they're known to completely displace
native frogs (gobble up the tadpoles), I've even seen a picture of one eating
a duckling!

Shallow Pond
a male Yellow-headed Blackbird, lots of swallows (Barn, Cliff, Violet-green),
Savannah and Song Sparrows, American Goldfinches, American Robins, Crows, a
few Starlings, House Finches...
