On Sunday, we went and birded the Townsend Sewage Lagoons after reading the post about the large numbers of migrating waterfowl. Despite very cold weather, we were not disappointed. There were a dozen snow geese (about 9 white, 3 blue phase), about 200 tundra swans, 15000 canada geese and a wide assortment of diving and dabbling ducks.
I took a series of pictures of the area. To view them please visit http://www.giraud.com and click on the link for Townsend Sewage Lagoons. The birds were very skittish so the pictures aren't that great but it does convey the sheer number of birds present. If you continue down the road, there is a woodlot where we also saw a red-bellied woodpecker. Thanks Jacques Giraud http://www.giraud.com "Jacques Giraud" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
