Hello All,

Today while the sun was still shining, I decided to take a short break
from homework and chores and headed to the WA Park Arboretum. Between
the Visitor Center and the bridge to Foster Island I encountered a nice
assortment of waterfowl, including a late male Blue-winged Teal and
around 8 Wood Duck (half were fancy males). The woods everywhere were
ringing with kinglets, wrens, and tits and haunted by thrushes,
including a group of at least 12 Varied Thrushes- guess everyone was
glad the rain let up for a bit today!

Chao! AJ
