Dear Tweets,
This morning at the Mountlake Fill main pond I was fascinated to see a ring of
dabbling Norther Shovelers. A dozen went round and round in a tight
circle while feeding, head to tail. The circle rotated clockwise and drifted a
bit. They did this for at least 1/2 hour while I had them in view. Perhaps, working
together they can create an updraft to bring up more edibles from the bottom???

Also saw a Northern Pintail and 6 White-Fronted Geese.
