Hi Tweeters,
I am new to posting on here, but have had some fun sightings in the past few
days. Yesterday at Boeing Ponds were 2 beautiful Solitary Sandpipers (and two
Spotted Sandpipers). In addition there was a single Yellow-Headed Blackbird. The day before I also got to see the Egyptian Goose.
At home in Des Moines, for 2 weeks (7-9)red crossbills have at my feeders, (which is a new visitor for me), and one lone band tailed pigeon off and on.

Has anyone seen the Ross's Goose around the Boeing ponds in the past few days, and is it a dark or light?
