It was too nice an afternoon, so I went for a walk. Before I knew it, I
had found a back way to Marymoor Park, so I did my loop there at a brisk
pace before heading back to the office. While there, I saw a RED-NAPED
SAPSUCKER, thus adding species #131 to my Marymoor list! The sapsucker
was in the trees between the Clise Mansion and the dog-area parking lot.

Belatedly, I'd like to add that last Thursday we added #130 when we had
a wonderful sighting of a MERLIN. It was in the main dog-area meadow,
and we saw it dive after something before disappearing. Several times
before, I had thought I'd seen Merlin at the park, but this was the
first time I was really sure of my identification.

Everytime I think we've seen all there is to see at Marymoor, I come
across a couple of new ones.
