Hi All,
Inspired by Connie's last email, I spent an hour at the Montlake Fill this
morning, hoping for "bird magic." Sure enough, I found the usual
assortment of characters to brighten my day. Also watched a Cooper's hawk
being attacked by little guys, by the dime parking lot, and a larger hawk
(Northern Goshawk?) on what is left of the dead snag, southern point. The
best, however, was what I believed to be a Red-necked Phalarope, swimming in
the main pond. It must be an adult nonbreeding, as it was very white with a
black cap and mask. Behavior was typical as described in Sibley. Anyone
else see this little guy?
