Well, today around noon they were back at Stan Sayres; apparently in no
hurry to get anywhere!
Also, on the little knoll in the center of the Sayres parking lot, the mixed
flock of CALIFORNIA, RING-BILLED, MEW, and GLAUCOUS-WINGED
(and/or "OLYMPIC") GULLS today produced a single adult HERRING
GULL, a bit of a rarity for this part of the lake, at least in my experience.

Subject: [Tweeters] Greater White-fronted Geese continue to move south


Following up on the little flock of Greater White-fronted Geese that have been spotted along Lake Washington Blvd the last few days. They were seen at the Sayres Pits on election day and a half mile south of that location yesterday. I didn't see them this morning, but around 2:30 this afternoon they were grazing along the lake at the intersection of Lake Washington Blvd and So Adams St. That's another half mile of progress. I think they're walking to their wintering grounds this year.
