Hi Tweets,

Yesterday Marissa Benavente and I briefly birded the mouth of the Cedar River/Lk. Washington in Renton. Among the Common Mergansers, Coots, Gadwall and gulls we spotted a distant Bonapate's Gull and a "Comic" (Common or Arctic) Tern. I suppose Forster's is possible also, but I wouldn't know what to call that trio - "Formmic"??

Unfortunately we didn't have a scope since we were biking, but I assume it was a Common Tern. That is the 2nd tern I've seen at the site, having seen Black Tern there in the past. Bonaparte's Gulls are pretty unusual there also.

good birding,

Jim Flynn
