Good evening everyone.



We ran by the Kent ponds (south of 272nd -?east of the valley freeway) at noon and saw a Wilson's snipe. We had never seen one before so I thought I would post it.? It was alone on the the far side on the pond sitting in the reeds.? It was very hard to see but his/her coloring stood out as we were looking for shorebirds.? There are also several long billed dowitchers feeding in the mud along with a couple of other small sandpipers that I ddn't ID.?



If you go a little further south there are a couple of other ponds?and we saw a green heron.?



Also we went by Juanita Bay Park and the screech owl is still there - but it's VERY hard to see.? It's still stiing in the same area along the boardwalk.



Have a good evening
