Today I found my first Cinnamon Teal of the year at the Fill. It was in the southwest corner skulking in the waterway facing the soccer field. I think this is mouth of Ravenna Creek. This was a very nice bird to see on a cold March morning.

Also present was a Western Meadowlark, a gorgeous Ring-necked Pheasant and that immature Red-tailed Hawk that seems not be very afraid of people. This individual was discussed on Tweeters back in January.

I also found a single Dunlin perched on a log out in Union Bay.
