Birds were scarce yesterday at the Cedar River Mouth in Renton. The HARLEQIUN DUCK made an appearance after a week's absence. Whether it left and returned, or remained out of view for a week, who knows. Prior to its week of absence, the bird was seen daily for 2 weeks. How long will it remain? CRM is hardly a typical place to find a wintering Harlequin Duck.

Also, a COOPER'S HAWK remained perched while eating prey, allowing splendid views. I have photographed oodles of Merlins eating prey. Not so when it comes to Cooper's Hawks.
