[birdky] RPT: waterfowl on the move

Driving around Ballard WMA today revealed several flocks of ducks heading south 
as well as dropping out at Mitchell Lake.  A brief scan with binoculars showed, 
gadwalls, widgeons, shovelers, mallards, pintails and green-w teal as well as 
several hundred tree, bank, and rough-w swallows.  Also there is a large push 
of tree swallows headed south.  I saw numerous small flocks over cut soybeans 
and corn fields far from the river.  
Mitchell Lake closes to public access the 15th so now would be a great time to 
look for waterfowl and lingering shorebirds.
