We (Scott Ramos and I) turned out to have pleasant weather for our field trip today to Spencer Island, yielding prolonged looks and listening to Fox Sparrows, Song Sparrows, Spotted Towhees, Pine Siskins and 3 wrens in the woodsy areas, plus nice views of Cinnamon and Green-winged Teal, Pintails, Gadwalls, and Lesser Scaup, Ruddy Ducks, and Ring-necked Ducks. Passerines were singing on territory, and GW Teal were displaying. We also had very nice close looks at perched Northern Harriers and Red-tailed Hawks. Probably the best bird of the day was a very cooperative American Bittern which showed our group of 7 newer birders exactly how best to eat bullfrogs and tadpoles (it was lunchtime for us too, but we resorted to peanut butter sandwiches, lacking big feet and quickness). 49 species
