I participated in Roger Orness’ GNRA Census of Kent ponds today. We saw 2 Tree Sparrow’s that were quite willing to give us very good looks. Best way to access the Kent Ponds is to take 228th East and exit onto Russell Rd which is now one way. There is a loop trail between the two entrances along this road. The Tree Sparrows as well as White Crowned, Golden Crowned, Song Sparrow and Spotted Towhee could be seen along this path. Other birds of note on Publicly accessed interior trails were Sharp- Shinned, Coopers, and Red-Tailed Hawks, a Harrier, Kestrel and a Peregrine Falcon. Wayne Sladek
