Tweets - I had to go down to Marymoor this morning to salvage a Wood Duck
box that was attached to a snag which had fallen in the recent high water.
Plunging my hands into the cold water to pull the nails was less than
pleasant.

But there were some birds to see there too, and that ameliorated the pain.

At the Rowing Club pond there were 6 Ring-necked Duck, 7 American Wigeon, 5
Green-winged Teal, a female Bufflehead, a couple of Mallard, and a Great
Blue Heron. Not bad for one very small pond.

In a flock of CANADA GEESE, there were four CACKLING GEESE - this is kind of
late for sightings of CACG at Marymoor, though the data is sparse because we
haven't been paying attention until the last couple of years.

And in between the 1st and 2nd dog swim areas, I spotted a HERMIT THRUSH.
New for the year.
