Hi Tweets,
Today (10/22/00) I saw this male Anna's courtship display at montlake fill.
I knew that this 'J' shaped display is fast, but never imagined that it's so
fast that I can't even see it clearly. He was doing it right above my head.
He was going very high up, hovering for few seconds and then diving very
fast in a 'J' shape. It was so fast that I was able to see him only at the
end. He repeated that at least 10 times. As he completes the dive there was
a very high pitch buzz also. There was one more hummingbird, but I'm not
sure weather female or not! This male was there from 11.00 am to 4.00pm.

There was one banded crow with 3 bands, Orange,Red and Greenish.

Other birds were :
Hundred's of Crows!
2 male Ring-necked pheasant
(these were with crows, they were standing out VERY well)
Male Buffle Heads
Yellow-rumped Warbler
Bewick's Wren
White Crowned Sparrow
Fox Sparrow
Rufous sided Towhee
Northern Flicker
Kestrel
