Today Bruce texted me that he had 4 Pectoral Sandpipers at the 56th Street stormwater ponds, and I dashed right down.  He had mentioned that the PESA was on the second pond, but when I got there no PESA, but a whitish goose was standing there with a Cackling goose.  My first thought was that this was a “park goose” but it really looked like a Snow goose except for the darker body and wing feathering.  I thought it was probably a juvenile Snow Goose and on further more careful evaluation I convinced myself of that ID. Check out this digiscope photo:

 

Then I walked back to the thrid pond where I was able to find two Pecoral Sandpipers.

Overall a great quick local stop, bringing me to 205 Pierce County species this year.
