Hmm, maybe it is unusual for that location as I am used to seeing multiple Ring-necks when I see them. One would be more unusual, at least for me.

Yes, I saw them yesterday as they passed about 10 feet from me, when I was standing on the ramp leading into the water. I didn't think to take their picture, but when I entered the observation in eBird, it indicated that seeing four at once is unusual and that I should add additional information about the sighting. This led me to a question I frequently wonder about: I know that there are accepted "field marks" for each species, but I'm not sure how to find out what they are. Is there a resource somewhere (ideally, an app) that specifically lists the primary field marks per species?

For weeks and weeks there has been a single Ring-necked hanging out with the Mallards at Lake Sammamish Park. Its become quite tame. This morning there were 3 more.
