I was out in my kayak on this foggy morning, and saw 4 harlequin ducks between Three Tree Point and Seahurst Park. Also, numerous commerants, loons, gulls, and western grebes. The only traffic I saw on the Sound this morning was a passing sea lion, and I encountered a river otter on the trail to the beach.

On the way home, I stopped off at the Boeing Ponds for a few minutes. There was a Northern Harrier sitting on the ground east of the ponds. I saw a western meadowlark sitting up in a tree, a pie-billed grebe and two western grebes on the pond, and flushed a green heron.
