High winds and low temps made birding difficult at best today at Ballard.
There is some good shorebird habitat on the point of land that extends out into
Lower Beaver Dam Slough from the Mitchell Lake levee. Happy Hollow lake is
also at a nice level with extensive mud line exposed and no vegetation to
obscure views. Most other low lying areas have been drained and Mitchell Lake
itself is high. Burnt Slough is also high but should develop good habitat in
the coming weeks, especially if they drain it as usual. Birds of interest
include:
Great Egret - 9
Snow goose - 6
Gr-Wht-fr goose- 1
Blue-w teal 20 +
Northern shoveler- 6
Gr-Yellowlegs - 15
L-Yellowlegs- 20 +
Pectoral sp- 20
All six species of swallows (hundreds of tree)
A. pipit- 50+
Savannah sp- several
Dark-eyed junco -3
