Subject: Left off 05-05-97 Des Moines Marina report

Also seen in the Des Moines Creek Beach Park area was the first-of-the-
season Brown-headed cowbird (everybody's favorite;if only they could learn
to parasitize Starling, Crow and English sparrow nests!). A male
Brown-headed cowbird was also seen and heard at the Burien P & R early
05-06-97 AM. I rather like the song they sing. Will check out the Barn
swallow nesting status at the Marina later this afternoon and report
anything of interest.
Cheers,
