Tweets,

Nancy and I biked the Snoqualmie Valley Trail from Duvall to Carnation this morning and had a fine morning.

New King County Year birds included WESTERN WOOD PEWEES, BULLOCK'S ORIOLES, a singing male HAMMOND'S FLYCATCHER at a traditional spot in the tall cottonwoods downstream from the foot bridge at Tolt-MacDonald Park at Carnation (with Pacific-slope nearby), a HOUSE WREN singing in a yard in Carnation on, appropriately, Bird Street, between Spilman and Commercial, and a singing MACGILLIVRAY'S WARBLER somewhere between Duvall and Stillwater.

The WESTERN BLUEBIRD pair remains at their snag and BANK SWALLOWS are in numbers at their colony on the Snoqualmie River just beyond in the Stillwater WRA.

Lots of BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAKS, a variety of warlbers, and a cooperative, calling AMERICAN BITTERN at McCormick Park in Duvall.
