Tweets - between Say's Phoebe, Mountain Bluebird, and American Tree Sparrow
sightings, combined with a couple of ELWAS birding by ear field trips, plus
my own doodlings there trying to clean out bird houses, there were lots of
eyes and ears at Marymoor Park this week. And what a week it was.

I've seen and/or had reports of 75 species at the park between Saturday,
March 25th and Friday, March 31. We're up to 95 species for 2006, if I
counted right.
