Hi,
Having seen the variety of birds at Montlake this past Wed,
I decided to have an early morning visit to Black River Wetland
in Renton to see the bird activity there. (7.30am-9.00am). I was
hoping to see at least few warblers but there were none compared
to Montlake fill.

All the Heron nests are now not visible, as they are hidden now.
There are atleast 20+ active Heron nests!

I did see few new birds : Common Yellowthroat, Warbling Vireo,
and Virginia Rail. Other common birds were also there.

Following are some links to this and other S.King Co. areas :
