[Tweeters] Birds at Fort Dent- Eurasian Widgeon

[Tim Brennan]

Spent some time at the little pond at the north end of the playfields at 
Fort Dent in Tukwila.  Saw the following birds:

85 American Widgeons
1 Eurasian Widgeon (my first :) )
12 Hooded Mergansers
12 Northern Shovelers
11 Canada Geese
4 Mallards

Outside of the pond, I saw starlings, golden-crowned kinglets, black-capped 
chickadees, starlings, crows, gulls, and a robin.  Heard a goldfinch, and a 
red-winged blackbird.

Don't know if many folks have seen the pond, but it's all right - don't have 
to walk so far if the birds are on the other side of the pond..  :)  It's 
also one of those places (like Coulon Park) with play equipment, which is 
nice with a three year old!
