Hello All,

On my way to work this morning I had a Chipping Sparrow near the corner of Aloha and 11th, not exactly rare, but a good bird for Seattle. It was feeding in the grass near the curb right next to the playground with a group of House Finches. Also lots of migrants near the sparrow spot and around other parts of the hill including lots of Yellow-rumped Warblers, Orange-crowned Warblers, and Swainson's Thrushes, and a sprinkling of Western Tanager, Wilson's warbler, Warbling Vireo, and Townsend's warbler. All in all, a nice May morning.

All the best, Alan
