Good evening folks,

Meant to mention this earlier, but since Memorial Day now for the whole week
we've been enjoying both BLACK-HEADED and EVENING GROSBEAKS at the feeders
and in the forest here out of Fall City. One day after the black-headed
showed up, a sudden return of the evening's counting 17 strong came around.
Lately only seeing 3-5 of them. I've never had this many in summer before -
usually only during the winter.

Also had a nice gathering of 15 BAND-TAILED PIGEONS this afternoon. Started
with two a few weeks ago, and now the count is at it's high for my property
this spring.

Cheers,
