Delightful sunny day with a North Cascades Audubon outing at Blaine's Marine Park. Five Marbled Godwits are still here, along with dozens of ducks, the green-winged teal looking especially nice in the bright, low sun. Later I went to Kestrel Acres to walk the pooch and she, I assume from the size, was there, hovering and hunting the whole hour we were around.
