Hi Tweets,

Ted Peterson mentioned yesterday afternoon that he had seen 200
DUNLIN on the marina breakwater from the Edmonds public pier
yesterday morning. So I got up early enough today (1-17-10) to
include the pier in my morning rounds. No sign of the Dunlin this
morning but at 8:35 a.m. a skein of approximately 100 SNOW GEESE flew
south down the Sound from Everett, crossed over Edmonds by the ferry
dock and continued in a southeasterly direction. They must be
somewhere in King County now.
