Five American White Pelicans in the Samish River 4.9.21. The earliest sited arrival since they started coming here in 2016. The initial arrivals stop in at Samish each year before going to Padilla Bay. Awhile back, I started a Facebook page for them (in 2017 or so) which has their history of showing up a few years ago along with member photos and sitings. It's American White Pelicans of Padilla Bay.

Yesterday on eBird, a male Mandarin Duck was posted at Juanita Beach Park in Kirkland, first on the sand in front of the condos, then after flying, near the mouth of Juanita Creek. It was still there late this a.m., sitting on the far edge of the creek in the sawdust, then walking around a bit. A photographer reported that it had also been at the lake edge in the same area. The spot where it was sitting this morning is best accessed by heading for the beach where most of the gulls hang out, past the volleyball area, then taking the short ?dry land? trail to the creek edge.

Not that I think it flew in from Japan, but it had no leg bands. Where ever he came from, he?s a beauty!

At least when I was raising waterfowl, all that was required was marking. A band could be used but one could also remove that tiny toe on the back of the leg. That would be sufficient to meet the requirement. Plus, while a commercial breeder/dealer would mark the birds a person who just "had a pair" might not be aware of the rule and might not mark ducklings and then they escape.

In the same ebird report that Penny refers to below is an image of a male WOOD DUCK. The female with that male WOOD DUCK looks an awful lot like a female MANDARIN DUCK to me.

For what it's worth, some years ago MANDARIN DUCKS were breeding in Auburn. On June 21, 2005, I saw a female MANDARIN DUCK with 6 ducklings on the Green River.

Hi Tweeters,
>
>
Had great looks at a Say's Phoebe today (5 PM) at Mercer Slough Nature Park. There is a bridge that crosses the slough near the blueberry field; the Phoebe was just north of the bridge, flycatching fence on the boundary of the blueberry field, and then from some nearby trees across the trail, right next to the slough.

At 8 o?clock this morning I suddenly realized that I hadn?t checked the mailbox for several days. My late mother, in her dementia , rabidly accused me of stealing her mail so I?ve got to update my habits. I hope she has too.
>
>
Anyhoo, checking the mailbox paid off big time because I got to hear two ?new? bird songs. They were ?new? to me since I never hear too much from them around here, so I forget. At this stage in life I?ve probably forgotten more info than I still remember, but that?s still plenty for me.

The two new birdsongs were Golden-Crowned Sparrow , and Fox Sparrow , The Fox Sparrow is particularly variable in song. Two Golden-Crowns, one Fox.

Have been watching the slo-mo switcheroo from winter plumage to breeding plumage in both Golden and White-crowned Sparrows this Spring. It takes a while.
