Hi Tweeters,

Checked out Gog-Le-Hi-Te in Tacoma on my way home from Nisqually NWR with
Matt Kizer. Got my fill of Thayer?s Gulls, plenty to see on the blue BTI
building adjacent to the parking lot and both tidal ponds North and South.
I was pleasantly surprised to see a Snow Goose foraging with Mallards in the
South Tidal pond. Bumped into a friendly regular of the wetlands who
mentioned the Snow Goose has been around for 4 days, great easy looks!

Good birding!
