The fog cleared by the time I got to the lake, and it made for quite a =
nice day at Marymoor. Notable species as follows:

Western Grebe 30 out on the lake! Ties our previous high count.
Green-winged Teal 3 at the rowing club. First of fall.
Virginia Rail 3 heard at lake platform
Varied Thrush 2, possibly 3. 5th Marymoor report, high count.
Western Meadowlark 6
Pine Siskin 30, more or less. First of fall.

Fish eating birds seem to love the rebuilt weir which appears to =
concentrate the small fish. This morning there were 5 Common =
Mergansers, a Great Blue Heron, and two Pied-billed Grebe feeding at the =
gap in the weir. Since this weir modification was supposed to increase =
salmon survival, it makes you wonder... Maybe good for upstream =
migration of adults, but maybe bad for downstream movement of smolt!

All told, 45 species.
