Ed - there's a small grove of aspens at Marymoor Park, and they have been
pretty good for Yellow-rumped and Nashville Warblers in season.

I'm not sure I've really noticed them being that much of a hotspot
generally, however.

Admittedly, the patch is fairly small, and is NOT around a pond, which
might change things somewhat.
