Thursday I went to the Montlake fill for the first time. I mainly
concentrated on the ponds. I saw:



Green-winged teal pairs

Hooded Mergansers

Many American Wigeons

One Great Blue Heron

Canada Geese

Two Western Medowlarks

Many coots

Five Cormorants

One Pied-billed Grebe



In one clump of cattails (by a small pond South of path by Central Pond) I
heard wild chirping that didn't stop as I approached. I suspected
nestlings, but did not disturb the area and didn't see birds.
