With all the birthdays this weekend (wife's Saturday, grandson's first Sunday) I didn't get much done.

Since my gandchildren live in Puyallup, I drove to Auburn and checked out the great-tailed grackle Sunday morning. The grackle was finally found at the Texaco ? gas station east of the mall. As with the prior posts, foraging with a group of Brewer's Blackbirds.

Birded a little park in Puyallup (Wildwood) for an hour or so on Saturday. Follwing is the tally, not bad for a new place and little time.

Black-capped Chickadee - 5
Chestnut-backed Chickadee - 1
Spotted Towhee - 2
Dark-eyed Junco (Oregon race) -9
Dark-eyed Junco (Slate-colored race) - 1
Fox Sparrow - 1
Song Sparrow - 3
Bushtit - 26
American Robin - 2
Bewick's Wen - 2
Brown Creeper - 1
Stellar's Jay - 1
House Sparrow - 6
House Finch - 2
European Starling - 38
Brewer's Blackbird - 22
Red-winged Blackbird - 3

Good birding
