This evening at dusk I saw two Ross's Geese at Agate Bay.  They 
circled low over the boat landing about three times while giving 
their distinctive call, which I had never heard before.  They looked 
like they landed in the grassy field between the boat landing and the 
tugboat, but by the time I got over there to try and photograph them 
they were gone.

There was a lot of migration along the North Shore all day today.  I 
stopped by Hawk Ridge this afternoon, and they were having their best 
raptor flight of the season so far, with more than 12,000 Broad-wings 
and a Swainson's Hawk.  Hope we get a good flight for this weekend's 
festivities.
