The SNOWY EGRET first found by Bruce Labar put on a quite a show yesterday. Also at that 43rd Ave pond in Fife were:
Great Blue Heron - 1
Green Herons - 1 adult & 1 juv
Long-billed Dowitcher - 1
Greater Yellowlegs - 1


At nearby Levee Pond a PIED-BILLED GREBE flew around the parking lot as I arrived. It must have thought it was swimming thru the air. The photos will explain.


Finally, at the Puyallup Mitigation Ponds I observed a bright yellow male HOUSE FINCH.

Too much stress and a lack of free time to muse is a prison from which one cannot easily escape.
