Greetings All

Sorry for the late post.
Last Thursday, the Fir Island Snow Goose flock (still sizeable) had 2 imm "Blue Geese" in the flock, and I did not scour it as heavily as I could have.

On Saturday, there was a fine male Black Duck x Mallard at the Everett Public Boat Launch, undoubtedly some remnant genes from the introduced Black Duck population in Everett that has since become extirpated (partly due to interbreeding w/ Mallards).

Best Wishes
