Hi, Tweets,

Following a recent report of a rail at Green Lake, I walked along the southwestern shore late this morning. After 15 or 20 minutes, I did see a rail foraging in the cattails, but it was a Sora (!). I got great views of the beast as dozens of walkers, runners, bicyclists, and dogs passed behind me. This may be the first I've actually seen in King County. (I've heard them.) This could become one of those unusually cooperative rails for a time, and I recommend looking. You're not going to add any disturbance if you just hang out quietly. To find the spot, follow the sound of Red-winged Blackbirds, as a small cluster is setting up territories there.

For the first time in awhile, I did not find any Eurasian Wigeon, and all the geese I saw were Canadas.
