Hi Tweets -

This morning I had a flock of approximately 50 breeding plumage
Bonaparte's Gulls at the ponds at the Everett water quality treatment
facility (sewer ponds). There were additionally Lesser Scaup and Ruddy
Ducks on the ponds. Lots of singing Marsh Wrens on the way into Spencer
Island, Common Yellowthroats were sounding off also. Had Tree,
Violet-green, Barn and Cliff Swallows active. A while later I had one of
the scruffiest looking 2nd year Bald Eagles I have ever seen on Ebey
Island.

Good birding,
