Elaine Chuang, Douglas Marshall, Katha Cowgill, and I had a good day today up on the Skagit and Samish. We saw most of the expected species, including big flocks of Snow Geese (the flock at the entrance of Wiley Slough had at least five Blue-morph birds) and Cackling Geese. FYI, hunting season has begun.

Our most notable sighting was of one Tropical Kingbird, flycatching from the tops of the trees along the slough right behind the Bread Farm Bakery in Edison.

We also found two Yellow-headed Blackbirds in a big mixed flock at Hayton Preserve.
