Tweets - I made a quick trip to Marymoor today (my wife suggested I go out
and enjoy the nice weather. Who was I to say no to that?)

A wedding party bagpiper made it difficult to listen to birds around the
mansion, and about 240,000 dogs made the dog area a bit tough. Even the
nature trail was pretty full of dog-walkers (though I will have to say that
almost all of them were on-leash dogs).

There were a few highlights to make it worthwhile:

Cinnamon Teal Two drakes at the lake, close in
Bald Eagle Once again, 8-10 circling above the park
Spotted Sandpiper Flying up the river from the lake
R.-br. Sapsucker In birch near start of boardwalk (common there)
Or.-cr. Warbler Several heard, 1 glimpsed
Bullock's Oriole Male NW of the mansion
Bl.-h. Grosbeak Male singing

The Spottie and the oriole are new for the year.
