Hi, Tweets:

Where we saw thousands Monday, the 16th, in the *Stilly* delta fields south of
Stanwood; yesterday, not a single SNOW GOOSE was to be found in the entire
expanse between there and Bow-Edison. Must have seen a migrating army heading
south, Monday. Yesterday we did see seven TRUMPETER SWANS on Fir Island.
Probably temporary, too. Most common bird seen all day, besides
STARLING/BLACKBIRDS, was RED-TAILED HAWK; twenty-something count! Three
great ROUGH-LEGGED sightings, one, a gorgeous immature.

An unbelievably beautiful November birding day! Didn't learn about the
Everett OWL until logging on to 48 posts on return! Yikes!
