Birded the Marysville STP Saturday. Had 54 species 8-11 a.m., including:

CINNAMON TEAL 1 (drake on s. pond, same one as seen in Dec?)
BLUE-WINGED/CINN. TEAL, sp. 1 (hen w/Shovelers, marsh north of north pond)
Red-breasted Merganser 2 (slough south of s. pond, unusual on fresh water)
Virginia Rail 1
Western Gull 1
DARK-MANTLED GULL, sp. 1 (either small, slender Western with dirty yellow
eye iris or Slaty-b, unfortunately primaries above/below not seen well)
Tree Swallow 5
Lincoln's Sparrow 11
W. Meadowlark 8

Also, in a quick noon walk at the Skagit WMA, had the expected Tree Swallows
and one Rufous Hummingbird, 25 or so Am. Pipits (Wylie Rd), also a singing
COM. YELLOWTHROAT that likely wintered locally.
