Hello Tweeters -

This month, it's been all about the Brants on our private beach south of the Marina in Des Moines. We started with a small flock of about 16 and now it's become the migrating horde. I posted a few pictures from this am's walk in my Flickr account. No sign of the Red-breasted Merganser's that were there last week.

Also spotted today was one Northern Flicker male, 4 Golden-eye females, one Western Grebe, a few random gulls, 5 pigeons and a dead Harbor Seal with brand #300 (already called that one in).

Enjoy!
