Hi Tweeters,

I was very excited to find a female Red-breasted Merganser at Green Lake
this evening. She was foraging alone for about half an hour off of Duck
Island, seen from the West side fishing dock, and later joined up with the
large Common Merganser flock. As there have recently been upwards of three
hundred Commons on the lake, I was really hoping for a Red-breasted this
winter. A first on eBird there.

On another note, I was surprised yesterday to suddenly have an Osprey fly
by at Tolt MacDonald Park. It headed North up the Snoqualmie River, I
suppose the abundant salmon have keep it fed.
