Weather, May 23, 2024<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

As you can see from abocve, the weather was not real conducive to birding today. Getting out of your vehicle was problematic at best…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing new at the feeders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Contractor’s Marsh, we watched a flock of Aleutian Cackling Geese land on the north end of the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n

Still running into Wood Sandpipers everywhere!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Found a Lesser Scaup, Long-tailed Duck, and Common Murre today for the trip list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Contractor’s Marsh, we found the Pacific Golden-Plovers again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another Brambling was found near the High School Spruces by Michelle’s group. We didn’t try for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a long day of birding, I dropped Don off at the house and decided to try for a Dunlin that was reported on the East Flats at Clam Lagoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn’t get the Dunlin, but on the way back I flushed a Common Greenshank off the road (I was trying to get a photo of a Bufflehead at the time!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, it just flew over to the nearby East Side Ponds, where I was able to get some photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Short-eared Owl was also reported by Ann’s group up at Lake Shirley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trip List is 58.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
