Today just around 11:30 AM Bruce located 4 male Blue-winged teal at the pond across Lincoln from the Gog, and moments later they flew out of sight across the river. I got his text whileI was headed for the dump to bring a trailer of yard waste, and we about to skip my first Tai Chi lesson at the Y and chase the teal. After he noted that the teal had disappeared I decided to keep the class and try later. Before I was ready to go Michael had located a single male BWTE at Gog-li-hi-ti so I went there after my dental appointment. As I parked Michael was about to leave, and thankfully he told me where to find the teal. It was tucked into the grass, barely in sight, but I was able to find it pretty easily.
Since I was already in Tacoma I decided to try for a Caspian tern, with no luck at the 11th St Bridge, Middle Waterway, and at Thea Park. I was able to get a distant look at the resident Peregrine Falcon though, so 2 FOY Pierce County species today. Traffic coming home was terrible though, so I pain in that regard.
