Even tho it?s not going to make anyones list you want to keep your eyes open for this one. It was seen on the huge soccer field at the SE edge of Lake Sammamish State Park about 3:15 this afternoon. This bird has a black belly and a golden brown chest and neck. Really a head turner. The coloration seemed natural rather than a stain. Last seen headed NW with 50 others. Didn?t get a photo.
