Tweeters, Keith Brady and I did a late run through some of our downtown haunts (can't let that CBC 'high' go just yet) and then hit Boston Harbor and Nisqually NWR around noon-3:45. Highlights are as follows:

My house (pre-Keith) Pine AVE NE Olympia:
1 MERLIN (yard bird)

Boston Harbor:
Western Grebe
2 EARED GREBES (over on the Cooper Point edge)
Rhino Auks (real close in)
4 C. Murres
1 SPOTTED SANDPIPER

Nisqually NWR (road out to McAllister Creek):
2 Ross's Geese (still present, flying back and forth across the refuge and Cut-off RD)
CANADA GOOSE (still present, I kid.)
1 Eurasian Wigeon drake
1 Peregrine Falcon
1 HERRING GULL (contender, good enough for me but Keith "Prudhoe prude" Brady was hesitant. Also a couple of faux-Herring in the mix. One Western candidate, but looked a little light mantled to me...then they all do compared to the REAL Westerns of Oregon...I'm done venting)
1 COMMON YELLOWTHROAT (possible 1st year male, seemed like there was black at the rear edge of the auriculars...but then I only saw it for a second. Can't believe our Nisqually crew missed this! For shame)
W/C Sparrow
5 Lincoln's Sparrow

Finally, just to show up the Nisqually CBC crew (we want access to that Swamp Sparrow!!), we found yet another COMMON YELLOWTHROAT behind the headquarters pond (north of headquarters, along side trail which is labeled "Don't go past this sign"...so cruel). HA HA HA (Evil laugh).
