[Tweeters] Pelicans & Yellow-headed Blackbird near Lynden.

[Eric Ellingson]

I followed up on reports of ~15 American White Pelicans near Lynden off Hannegan Rd today.

They were near a hunting blind on a small dry area in the middle of a wet part of a cornfield. There were hundreds of birds there.

Highlights:
~15 American White Pelicans

~30 White-fronted Geese - moving around quite a bit with eagles terrorizing the ducks & others.
1 Yellow-headed Blackbird, another sighting at Flynn Retention Pond - that one calling.

Other:
Black-bellied Plovers
Dunlin
Yellowlegs
Least Sandpipers - probable.
~500 Snow Goose
hundreds of ducks.
