Fanter and I have been out the past couple days enjoying the sun and today not enjoying the fog mid afternoon at semiahmoo.But even with the limited scoping we did find a flock of close to 500 Ruddy ducks jn the harbor viewed from the beginning of the spit. Amazing. We found Western and a Thayer's gull on the dock amongst the hybrids and a Herring xGlaucous-winged gull.Yesterday we birded Lake Terrell there were 1000's of ducks.Highlights: 1 Redhead, 18 Canvasback, 1 Eurasian Wigeon, 8 Pied-billed Grebes, 70+ Ring-necked Ducks, 1 Savannah Sparrow. In the fields along Mountain view and olson rd we found the previously reported Cackling Geese mixed with a large flock of Trumpeter Swans, Canada Geese, 1 Snow Goose. Lummi flats late in the day. Highlights: 350+ Green-winged Teal in the bay, nearly 100 Black Scoters in the aqua pond, a Harlan's Red-tailed Hawk, and Mt Baker turning pink in the fading light. Nice days.
Good Birding,
Ken Lane
