Spent the mid afternoon at Ballard WMA with the boys.  We all got great looks 
at several species that were new to them and they really enjoyed it.  The best 
spot is at Lower Beaver Dam Slough.  Water is just starting to come off the 
peninsula at the levee.  Cook slough, Burnt Slough and Happy Hollow are all 
full of water and should get good in a couple of weeks.  Highlights include:

Snow Goose 4
Mallard 3
Blue-w teal  4
N. Shoveler 3
Gadwall  3
Hooded Merganser 1
Black vulture 1
Killdeer 1
Greater Yellowlegs  9
Lesser Yellowlegs  20
Solitary Sandpiper 3
Spotted Sandpiper 1
Pectoral Sandpiper 4
Dunlin  1
Wilson's Snipe 1
Fish crows galore
