Hello Tweeters,

The spring migrants have been late arriving in my Federal Way yard that borders on Dash Point State Park this year. Our first Wilson's Warbler just arrived last week.

Must have had a windfall this morning as I surveyed around Wilson's Warblers were flitting everywhere, high in the Alders and low to the ground, 3 were in my birdbath fountain at once. Almost every bird my eye caught was a summer visitor, most of the flock were Wilson's. But there were other visitors, A male Western Tanager took a long bath. Had great close looks at Black-throated Gray Warbler, Pacific-slope Flycatcher, and Hutton's Vireo. Heard Singing Yellow Warblers and Black-headed Grosbeaks.

What a great start to my day,
