Hi all-

A slow walk at the Montlake Fill produced a few good birds today.
Lots of swallows overhead, as well as a few Vaux's Swifts. I dug
through the sparrows at the stadium side and turned up 4 LINCOLN's as
well as more common species (no Fox, though). Then an arrow of a
MERLIN shot by and landed in a tree. I managed to scrounge up two
small groups of warblers, one by the middle pond and the other by the
footbridge. Mostly Yellow-rumps, but good numbers of Orange-crowned
Warblers, 2 YELLOW WARBLERS (it's getting late I think?) and a few
Yellow-throats. A NORTHERN HARRIER floated by as well.

that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only
unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American
public." --Theodore Roosevelt

now there are robins all over their villages."
