Good afternoon Tweets,

I took advantage of the stalled weather front and checked out the Edmonds
Marsh and waterfront this morning. At the marsh there were 3 GREAT BLUE
HERONS, 1 KILLDEER, 7 CANADA GEESE, 1 BREWER's BLACKBIRD, 1 female NORTHERN
FLICKER, 1 female BELTED KINGFISHER, and multiple HOUSE SPARROWS, ROCK
DOVES, and HOUSE FINCHES.

>From the fishing pier there was 1 male BELTED KINGFISHER, multiple CROWS,
several DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS, 1 first-year RHINOCEROS AUKLET inside the
breakwater and 4 adults on the open water, 54 male/female SURF SCOTERS,
several COMMON MURRES, some BONAPARTE's GULLS, CALIFORNIA GULLS, STARLINGS,
and 6 male/female MALLARDS.

>From Brackett's Landing North there were more SURF SCOTERS and
DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS, 6 COMMON TERNS, several WESTERN GREBES, 2
RED-NECKED GREBES, 12+ HORNED GREBES, 2 HEERMANN's GULLS, and some
GLAUCOUS-WINGED GULLS. There were a number of CROWS on the beach and a
flock of HOUSE SPARROWS moving through.

Good birding,
