Hi, Tweeters,

I had a nice birding day at NIsqually. Saw some Cinnamon Teal amongst the
regular Mallards. What a pretty bird, and I'm not a waterfowler, I'm a
warbler fan.

I saw a Great Blue Heron with yellow or light colored carpal feathers. Both
wings had two yellow patches each, right on the leading edge of the wing. Is
this just a bird having fun on the way to maturity, or is someone color
marking GB Herons out there??
