This morning at the 56th Street Ponds I arrived just after Bruce and although shorebirds were absent except for 5 Greater Yellowlegs a male Cinnamon teal cruised the far pond and just before leaving several Lazuli Buntings responded to a recording, and one perched for a brief look.
Quick stops at Sha-Dax and Levee Pond did not yield a Green Heron, but at the distant wet area near the end of Levee Rd 2 Greater White-fronted Geese and ond Cackling goose were with several Canada Geese, and straggling Gadwall, Green-winged Teal, N. Pintail and N Shoveler were still there.
The Long-billed Curlew persists at the Puyallup/Sumner field alongside Bowman-Hilton Rd.
Last stop was at the usual Lesser Goldfinch stop on Riverside Drive, Sumner and after a bit of looking a male and female came in to a recording, they seemed to prefer the calls, as the song earlier didn’t attract them.

A nice morning. I hope to show Kay the Curlew on the way to work this afternoon.
