[MARVIN BREECE via Tweeters]

Today there was a SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER with 10 LEAST SANDPIPERS & 3 WESTERN SANDPIPERS at M Street Marsh in Auburn. There was also a SPOTTED SANDPIPER as well as 8 MINIMA CACKLING GEESE.

At the intersection of West Valley & 277th in Kent, the JUVENILE (1 year old bird in juvenile plumage, but molting) EASTERN RED-TAILED HAWK continues.

In spite of all the beaver activity along 204th St in Kent, what I saw swimming in the ditch there today was a Muskrat. Much smaller than a beaver with a rat-like tail.  Bird-wise at 204th, the ADULT EASTERN RED-TAILED HAWK continues.
