Tweeters--At Grass Lake, Olympia on Tuesday AM were yellow-rumped
Audubon's and Myrtle warblers in the lakeside willows. Though adult males
and females were easy to see, I'm pretty sure, by virtue of lack of
streaking on breasts, and also by the attentions paid to the adults, that
several were juveniles. I guess I wasn't expecting fledglings so soon.
After all, Western tanagers, Solitary and warbling vireos, and
black-headed grosbeaks have just arrived and other neotrops, particularly
yellow warblers and willow flycatchers, have yet to arrive at this site.
I'd be interested in hearing from others about evidence of new year birds
west of the Cascades.
