Hello!

On 4-4 I went to Bothell Landing park and saw two unusual birds in the river. The first was a very habituated White-fronted Goose hanging out with a few Canada Geese and a domestic goose. I've never seen a W.F. Goose so approachable.

The other odd bird present was an otherwise normal-looking mallard drake with a bright blue bill (like a wigeon's!) Was he some kind of hybrid? Has anybody else seen a drake like that? I'd never seen one like him.

Thanks, Kate Turner of Brier
