(I tried to post this message yesterday, but I don't think it went through.
My apologies if it appears twice.)

I stopped at the Montlake Fill on Friday on my way home and found 1 Palm
Warbler associating with 4 or 5 Yellow-rumped Warblers. They were going
back and forth between the bushes and the ground around the big pond
closest to the stadium.

There also was quite an assortment of Canada Geese, including 1 Cackling
and another Lesser-sized one that is the palest Canada Goose I have ever
seen. Its entire breast and belly are almost pure white, and its back
color and the barring on its sides are noticeably paler than those of any
of the other geese. It does NOT look like a hybrid. Has anyone else seen
this bird?
