["Scott & Glenda Record" <sgrecord@xxxxxxxx>]

Took the kids for a late afternoon drive through Ballard WMA.  The biggest 
highlight was a brood of six recently hatched hooded mergs swimming with the 
hen in a slough off Humphrey's creek   Also had 2 dickcissels and 2 common 
nighthawks at Mitchell lake.
Shorebird habitat is fairly good with numerous locations of small pools along 
the river.  Lower beaver dam slough and the flooded field to the east as well 
as happy hollow and burnt slough had several shorebirds.  Most appeared to be 
yel legs and solitarys but I didn't look closely at all and the afternoon light 
is terrible.  Also, 3 year olds have no patience.  I plan to go over it with a 
fine tooth comb Wed morning.
