Hello All,
I made a quick stop today to check on the muddy fields along 204th Street and 212th Street near Kent. Along with about 30 Greater Yellowlegs were 3 Lesser Yellowlegs, 4 Solitary Sandpipers, and both common peeps. Also present were one each of Cinnamon and Blue-winged Teal. A flock of 18 Red Crossbills flew over; I've seen moderate numbers of these nearly everywhere I've been lately.
Also, there are still Eurasian Collared-Doves between Sumner and Alderton in Pierce County. They are along Riverside Road just south of the Riverside BMX Track/frisbee golf course. I've had up to 4 in the area this week.
Cheers
