Today, Feb. 19th in the North Creek area of Bothell. There is a Marriott
Residence Inn at the corner of NE 195th and 120th Ave. NE. In the pond
behind it , around 2:00 p.m. I saw at least two dozen hooded mergansers. In
all the time I've walked in this area, I've not seen more than a couple pairs
at a time.
