My mom (olive) and I went to Ridgefield NWR River "S" Unit this morning. (~4mi W of I-5 at Exit 14 in SW Washington; http://www.fws.gov/ridgefieldrefuges/ ).

The juvenile Black Tern reported by Scott Carpenter yesterday, was seen again from The Blind overlooking Rest Lake.

I did not find the Eared Grebe today that Scott saw Saturday.

A nice breeze kept the mosquitos down a bunch (only 6 bites each).
