There were also three Cooper's Hawk fledglings in the sunny, relatively open area near the nest on the trail to Scudder Pond, on July 14... one was seen today across the trail from the nest.

Hooded Merganser and Cooper's Hawk fledglings Pat Buhl 7/22/13
What I think may be a juvenile Hooded Merganser (please correct if I'm wrong about that), has been feeding in Whatcom Creek just upstream from the Derby Pond in Whatcom Falls Park, and hanging out with the Mallards in and around the Derby Pond, for the last couple of days.

Virginia Rail....chick! Joe Meche 7/10/13
I was in the middle of a conversation at Scudder Pond this morning when I noticed movement along the water's edge. My first thought was Virginia Rail, and there were two--an adult followed closely by a chick. I had to shoot from the hip through the reeds but managed a couple of shots for documentation.
This afternoon, I saw the chick (or sibling?) paddling across the open water from the same spot by the beaver deceiver.
