A late morning trip to Ballard proved very hot.  I don't know what I was 
thinking but it was worth the trip anyway.  Aside from the heat, the newly 
relocated Canada geese make it very difficult to get near the shorebirds on the 
mudflats and continuously keep the peeps stirred up. Highlights include:

Wood Duck  8
Blue-w teal  20
Great egrets   lots
Snowy egrets  5
Little blue heron  1 
Miss Kite  1 
Bald Eagles  3 
A. Golden Plover  1 (molty adult)
Killdeer  200+
Gr yllgs  4
L yllgs  6 +
Solitary sand  10
Spotted Sand  1
Semi sand  4+
Least sand  50 +
Pectoral sand  75 +
Least tern 30 +
