I counted a 130 Brandt in a flock last Friday along the beach just south of
the lighthouse at Discovery Park. They seem to be around.

A large flock has been hanging out at Lowman Beach in West Seattle for some
weeks now. Wonder if they're the same birds?

This noon Molly and I were surprised to see over 50 Brant at Golden Gardens,
at the point, almost on shore. Why are they not up at Parksvile BC for the
Brant festival. It was a delight to see so many, so close, and so vocal.
