Keith Brady has been bugging me to post that on the 26th he had 7 REDHEADS
(four males) on Capitol Lake in Thurston County. This is a new high count
for the lake this year (maybe ever?). Good year for this bird in W. WA this
winter. He also had the drake Eurasian Wigeon and one hybrid Wigeon. Also
forgot to mention that on the Olympia CBC we had a Mallard X N. Pintail
hybrid near the interpretive center on Capitol Lake, very cool looking bird.

On Monday the 29th Keith also counted 6 Eurasian Wigeon at Nisqually NWR.
The Rough-Legged Hawk was seen way out near the far dike at the top of a
tree (as viewed from the Twin Barns platform).
