Hi all,

Delia and I spent the early part of Saturday, yesterday, at Spencer Island near Everett. We were a bit surprised to have a close TURKEY VULTURE soaring over the north end of the island. Also, two LINCOLN?S SPARROWS, a single adult NORTHERN SHRIKE, a HAIRY WOODPECKER, two MOURNING DOVES, a PEREGRINE FALCON, NORTHERN HARRIERS, SHARP SHINNED HAWK & a BALD EAGLE & at least four YELLOW RUMPED WARBLERS. The inside area had high water and there were a lot of GREAT BLUE HERONS. We also had a flyover swallow that I thought was a TREE SWALLOW. We didn?t see any Purple Finch.
