Missing DateDescription
Fruticose. Most likely borealis species based on what I found online under this genus and because it is most common in WA but I am unsure exactly what kind because it doesn't have any red on it (or any color other than the overall dull green/green). This was on a large stick in union bay natural area (not quote Yesler Swamp)

At first glance, this appeared to be a bufflehead because of it's white and black head, then I noticed it's irregular shape and clearly more prominent white section than on a bufflehead. Also it's body was more brown than the grey or white of the bufflehead,

their sound is prominent most evenings on the water at Yesler swamp-it can be easily confused with the Mallard ducks in the area but their sound is unmistakable.

American Coot (Fulica americana)Observer

Missing DateDescription
Black bodies, white bill loud noises that sound like coots. I couldn't be sure if they had red heads or eyes due to distance but I am pretty sure they were coots.
Grouped in a nearly-endless cloud-like mob of black feathers and feet landing on the water around sundown.
