Hi:



At my son's backyard this afternoon I saw a 'new' (to me) bird from about 15
feet away, for about 20 seconds. It was a little smaller than a chickadee
and almost completely yellow. The best match I can find in Sibley is the
Yellow Warbler in adult phase. I was told that it was in the yard yesterday
too. He has several feeders and water in his Tacoma north end yard. I
don't know whether or not this bird is common in the area and was wondering
if this a possible ID.



By the way, this yard has several tall evergreens and also has three
Band-tailed Pigeons which have now returned for at least the third year in a
row. They are quite shy, but show when no one is in the yard.



Your help will be appreciated.
