Birded Stanwood last eve and had a few interesting birds at the Stanwood
STP:

Eared Grebe 1
Blue-winged Teal 1
Cinnamon Teal 2
Am. Wigeon 2, N. Pintail 4
Ring-necked Duck 6 (seemed real early; local breeders?)
Lesser Scaup 7 (same)
Hooded Merganser 3
Semipalmated Plover 12 (and about that number on Thomle Rd ploughed field
just southward)
AM. GOLDEN-PLOVER 1 (heard only but clearly, over Thomle Rd ploughed field)
Baird's Sandpiper 5 (Thomle Rd ploughed field)
Semipalmated Sandpiper 2
Red-necked Phalarope 13

Also, here at Tiny's Land in n. Lake Stevens, the passerine migrants are
starting to come through more in earnest, including:

Olive-sided Flycatcher 1 (August 18)
Warbling Vireo 1 (August 20)
Red-eyed Vireo 1 (August 21)
Townsend's Warbler 1 (August 18)

We also have plenty of local nesting species still in evidence, including
1-2 Pac.-slope Flycatchers that continue to be heard, Bl-thr Grays, W.
Tanagers, and BH Grosbeak. I also heard about a 15 flyover migrant
Swainson's Thrushes early this a.m., pre-dawn. Lots of RB Nuthatches
around.
