Sycamore Creek Park is a little known park in the south part of Issaquah. It is where Sycamore Creek flows into Issaquah Creek. My wife and I did our monthly survey of the park this morning on a somewhat foggy day with low clouds and not the best light conditions. However it was pretty good birding. The park is small and only takes 1 to 1:15 hours to complete. The species list in the order first seen was:
Bushtit - 10
Black-capped Chickadee - 11
Western Wood-Peewee - 2
Song Sparrow - 5
Chestnut-backed Chickadee - 2
Yellow Warbler - 1
Black-throated Gray Warbler - 2
American Crow - 3
Brown Creeper - 2
Red-breasted Sapsucker - 1
Northern Flicker - 3
American Robin - 8
Swainson's Thrush - 2
Belted Kingfisher - 1
Bewick's Wren - 1
Steller's Jay - 2
