We watched a Western Meadowlark at the Montlake Fill in Seattle on
Sunday, 12/03, during the mid-afternoon as it was feeding in the open
grassy areas on the ground between the ponds and the Montlake Cut
side of the Fill. It seemed to be the only one around at that time.
While not rare it's an interesting find to see in town. The Greater
White-Fronted Geese were also there: looked to be Arctic Tundra race
with two adults and 4 first or second year birds. They were mostly
with the Canada Goose flock but were also observed off by themselves
but always in the general vicinity of the ponds.
