Yesterday was a still on Deer Lagoon, Whidbey Island, and so hundred's of
wigeons, pintails, buffleheads, gadwalls, and lesser scaups. Seasonal
newcomers are about 100 brant and several white-winged scoters mixed in with
surf scoters at the mouth of the estuary. Other less common birds included a
northern shrike and common goldeneye.

While watching a pair of Hooded Mergansers and a whirling cluster of
Northern Shovelers, Sarah and I kept hearing a high-pitched piping sound
that I hadn't registered before. I thought at first that it might be a
shorebird but couldn't find one. It took me a while to realize that it was
coming from the large flock of Mallards that I had been overlooking in
search of "better birds". Male Mallards would lift their bodies from the
water, arch their necks, and make the piping sound. I find it humbling how
frequently I am puzzled by a common bird doing things I hadn't realized that
they did - and also marvelous!

There were lots of American Wigeons, mostly in the bay, along with a pair of
swans (Trumpeter?), several male Wood Ducks, a Blue-winged Teal, a number of
pairs of Hooded Mergansers, and large, active feeding flocks of Pine Siskins
eating catkins, as well as the usual resident birds.

Hi,

Can someone let me know the last time a Snowy made an appearance in Seattle
proper?
I remember one in Capitol Hill a few years back and I think 2 or 3 showed up
in Ballard some years ago.

Thanks!

Nice article about Husky Stadium and the Montlake Dump.
When I attended UW in the early 80?s the fill looked kinda like that aerial
photo. Great habitat even then but nothing like today. I remember one of the
ponds filled with 47 Red-necked Phalaropes.
I also remember going to that dump with my father in the 50?s. How many rare
gulls did I see? Oh, and by the way, the dump folks encouraged us to bring
BB guns to shoot rats, which were astoundingly abundant!

When I attended the UW (72-75) the fill was just that. A flat land that
vented lots and lots of methane. Did get my lifer Eurasian Wigeon there,
though.

I had been reminiscing recently about the Fill - saw my first Snowy Owl
there in March of 1979.
