At the Airport Ponds this morning, I had the two pair of Tufted Ducks. So they hadn’t flown north to be with the others up at Lakes Ronnie and Shirley! So there are at least 14 Tufted Ducks here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two Hawfinches were spotted today in town. After several groups fanned out, they were relocated next to the liquor store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At one point this morning, one of them was seen outside my house, but I have not yet seen it at my feeder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two Brambling were also seen (at the Seal Drive and Kuluk Drive feeders). I had a nano-second look at them as they flew away from the Seal drive feeder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, a Pine Siskin was a little more cooperative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up at Clam Lagoon, the Bar-tailed Godwit was on the east flats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of birders left today and more arrived, including Jon Boone and Jim DeForge. I have birded with them out here before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon needed the Garganey, so we stopped at the Marsh and Jon and Jim hiked over to the ponds where the bird has been reported. They saw it fly out. Success! Good way to start their trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trip List is 57.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
