Tweets - yesterday was quiet under dark skies. Oh, for rain! It might
liven things up. We had hours of nothing punctuated by moments of activity.

Highlights, such as they were:

We had one mixed flock near the south end of the Dog Area, featuring one
WARBLING VIREO, one BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK, one ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER, and
one WILSON'S WARBLER; we saw no more of any of those species the rest of the
day.

We had one mixed flock at the Rowing Club, with two YELLOW WARBLERS (one
adult male, one immature/female) and an immature/female BLACK-THROATED GRAY
WARBLER.

Probably the same 2 juvenile COOPER'S HAWKS traveling together early in the
morning as last week, and again an adult Coop at the Community Gardens
early.

WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW numbers are picking up, with about 6 seen, all
juveniles. WCSP were pretty much completely unreported from Marymoor
through June and July.

Well over 100 HOUSE FINCH were feeding on the grass fields north of the east
end of Snag Row. There were about 20 KILLDEER there, but (alas) no
Buff-breasted Sandpiper.

We had four COMMON MERGANSERS (immature/female), our first since early June.

An eminantly forgettable day.
