Hello Tweets,

I birded the Kent Ponds today from 4:15pm-6pm with 54 species including the
near resident PEREGRINE FALCON chasing an OSPREY over the "ponds", then
perching on a nearby snag, while the OSPREY left the area. Other highlights
included:

1 ROSS' GOOSE(first observed in the grassy field between 208th and 212th
St. on Boeing property with both "Cackling" and Lesser Canada Geese at
4:30pm, then observed the geese flock flying over the Kent Ponds at 5:15pm
heading south)

2 AM.KESTRELS
2 WOOD DUCKS
1 BARN SWALLOW
2+ CLIFF SWALLOWS

I birded the Clay Street Marsh at 6:20pm-6:45pm, and observed 28
Ring-necked Ducks, and good numbers of both Tree and Violet-green Swallows,
and one CLIFF SWALLOW.

Good Birding!
