Hi Tweets:

On Saturday, March 15, 10 hardy souls from East Lake Washington Audubon
braved the wet and cold for a field trip to the Skagit Valley and Samish
Flats. We saw 52 species. Highlights included 1 Snowy Owl, 5 Rough-legged
Hawks, Bald Eagles, a White-fronted Goose and 1 Trumpeter Swan with a large
flock of Snow Geese; 1 Tundra Swan, Brant, Harlequin Ducks, 1 Peregrine
Falcon. Amazingly we counted 14 male Eurasian Wigeons in a flock of about
200 American Wigeons, just north of the West 90. When a cow wandered too
close, the flock took off. But what a beautiful sight to see so many
Eurasian Wigeon.
