Returned to Bill Reims East Sammamish Park this morning to attempt a
re-locate on the Chipping Sparrow. No luck despite three passes over 2
hours by the spot I saw it yesterday. Little league baseball is played
there, and folks started showing up around 7:30am to warm up for this
morning's games. Busy park.

Nonetheless . . . a pleasant mix of usual suspects kept me entertained in
the woods around the perimeter of the playing fields. . .

Mallard pair on the soccer field
Vaux Swift
Anna's Hummingbird
Red-breasted Sapsucker
Warbling Vireo
RB Nuthatch, BC Chickadee, Bushtit
Bewick's Wren
Swainson's Thrush (heard once)
Wilson's Warbler
WC and Song Sparrows, Spotted Towhee
A few Dark-eyed Junco with one fledgling in tow

This park is kind of a Marymoor "Lite", however sports replaces dogs for
general atmosphere.

A few snapshots available for sharing . . .
