Hi Tweets:
Boeing Ponds, 10am. Shorebird count up just a little, and still just
a small amt of water in the back pond, the one you can't see from the
road.
Western Sandpiper - 1, Least Sandpiper - 13, Greater Yellowlegs - 1.
There are at least 6 Spotted Sandpipers at Boeing Ponds.

Kent Ponds, 11:45am. Grassy Knoll. Breeding Ruddy Ducks! A brood of
Ruddy Ducks swam by, 1 very-dark female, and 9 quite-small very dark
ducklings. There were also 3 Ruddy Duck males, and 1 other female in
the pond. This brood is a good sighting, as most Ruddy Ducks breed in
E WA.
