[Tweeters] Cedar River Mouth (Renton) today

[MARVIN BREECE]

Thanks for the kind words re the videos.  You guys know how much time it takes to process and load those!  I never saw the yellowlegs !!  Another advantage of video.  Hey that's a nice shot shot of the Franklin's Gull flying away.  Good detail of the tail and secondaries.


I just returned from the gym.  I think I'll pack a bit today and make sure I'm on pace to be ready to leave for E WA on Thursday.  But tomorrow I plan to visit CRM again.  Such a fun time this is!!

Fabulous photos and videos, Marv!     So many Marv touches to those videos.  Truly feel like I was just there.  Love the semi with the Franklin’s.  Great coverage of the Baird’s, too…and the TWO Franklins!   I have a feeling that you might be over there at M Street again this a.m. !    Also, I really enjoyed the juvie SB Gull.   
 
Deck construction work starting as planned, since air is clearing out this a.m.    It will be good to have it repaired and stained/painted.  Glad the fellow who did the downstairs room is able to do it for us!   He is a gem.  
 
Six Band-tailed pigeons trying to crowd their way on to the feeder……We have created quite the spot with lots of plants, flowers, habitat, …..whew.     I may have to escape….. 😊
 
Happy Monday,

I arrived at CRM at 7:30 this morning.  At 8 the first FRANKLIN'S GULL flew in from the south with a few other gulls. Later in the morning a second showed up.  A female-type Harlequin Duck remained in the distant driftwood allowing the occasional glimpse.
