Good morning Tweets,

Yesterday afternoon I got a chance to do a little birding on Whidbey. I
caught the ferry at 12:30 p.m. On the south side of the Mukilteo dock there
were 11 BARROW'S GOLDENEYES (2 males), 14 WESTERN SANDPIPERS, 2 SURF
SCOTERS, and assorted GAUCOUS-WINGED GULLS.

Approaching the Clinton dock there were BUFFLEHEADS (male and female), 1
RED-NECKED GREBE, 1 BRANDT's CORMORANT, 2 COMMON GOLDENEYES (male and
female), 12 BARROW'S GOLDENEYES (male and female) several SURF SCOTERS, and
both GLAUCOUS-WINGED and WESTERN GULLS.

At Langley I saw the flock of 30+ AMERICAN WIGEONS and the 1 EURASIAN WIGEON
that has been wintering with it.

At South Whidbey Isand State Park I saw 1 BELTED KINGFISHER (male), 2
RED-BREASTED MERGANSERS (male and female), 1 second-year BALD EAGLE, and 1
HORNED GREBE from the beach. Walking the beach trail through the woods I
heard lots of song but only saw 2 CHESTNUT-BACKED CHICKADEES, 1 WINTER WREN,
and 1 SONG SPARROW.
