The American Black Duck is back at Juanita Bay Park as of the first of
August. There were quite a few birds present this morning including a
Long-billed Dowitcher and a Greater Yellowlegs. Yesterday there were
3 LB Dow & 2 Least Sandpipers. Most any shorebirds are somewhat
exciting there given the limited habitat. The American Wigeon that
has summered is still there as well.
