Hi Birders:

If at first you don't succeed...

I took a second trip to North Creek Business Park, and immediately found
Harris. He was much more cooperative than yesterday, when I dipped (I
wasn't there very long).

I was prompted by notes yesterday to chase the Sandhill Crane, but again, as
yesterday AM, the mentioned field was devoid of swans and the crane. I made
a circuitous route around through Snohomish, and found a large flock of
waterfowl in a flooded field on the north side of Old Snohomish-Monroe Rd,
between Treosti Rd and 127th Ave. The flock included both swans, a drake
Eurasian Wigeon, and the (a) Sandhill Crane.

On the way home, I drove through the Snoqualmie Valley, and was treated to
three Tundra Swans in the flooded field on 324th Ave in Fall City.
