Hi,

I have not seen any reports on the Tufted Duck for a while so wanted to
report that I tried for the Tufted Duck today at Phantom Lake with no
success. I was there only a short time from about 10:00 am- 10:30 am at the
pier accessed from 156th SE and SE 20th in Bellevue, WA. There was some fog
at the south end (where the duck could have escaped notice) but otherwise
clear conditions with no wind. As I left I talked to two birders who had
been at the pier earlier and were just returning from the park on the North
shore and they had not seen it either.

I was at the Kent Ponds from about 11:00 am - 2:00 pm and the Baikal Teal
apparently had not been seen today. There were a large number of birders
both on the south tower and on the path scoping the center channel.
