Hey Tweeters,

This week at Magnuson Park I was lucky enough to see an Orange-Crowned Warbler, both Common and Barrow's Goldeneyes, a Cormorant, Canvasbacks, Mallards, Glaucous Gulls, Northwest Crows, Starlings, Savannah Sparrows, alot of American Wigeons, Robins, even some Red-Winged Black Birds. A few weeks ago I spotted two Barn Swallows, but they have not returned. I've also spotted what I thought was a Goldfinch, but it had a yellow spot under it's throat and a yellow spot on either side, I am now leaning towards some sort of warbler but cannot find any help in the guidebooks identifying it. There were in fact three of them and they were feeding on the ground, so maybe not a Warbler after all. I am stymied on this one.
