Hi Tweets,

It felt good to see some blue sky and squint into the sun around
Edmonds this morning. The usual winter residents could be seen from
the public pier. There was water in the Marsh due to the recent hard
rain, which produced some ducks. Some of the usual residents were
seen around the Hatchery and the Point Edwards public path. Of note
was the number of song sparrows flitting around, most of which seemed
to be singing the complex songs of spring.
