Hi Tweets,

I led a bird walk for Puget Sound Bird Fest this morning (9-12-10),
starting at the Edmonds Marsh at 7:30 and then going to the Willow
Creek Hatchery and Point Edwards public path, ending at about 10:30.
We found 37 species, including four warblers. In addition to the
Western Sandpipers in the Marsh this morning, yesterday afternoon we
found one Long-billed Dowitcher and two Pectoral Sandpipers there.
The high point for the group this morning seemed to be watching one
of the Osprey with a fish in its talons being chased by the Peregrine.
