In addition to the usual birds at the Mountlake Fill I observed the Virginia Rail and one of their chicks. Two notable fly overs included a crow harried Osprey, and my first UBNA Caspian Tern. The Cinnamon Teal were splendid.

The bird parents were very busy attempting to feed, as well as protect their toddler offspring.

What a special location!!!
