Since everyone else is reporting PARASITIC JAEGERS, I thought I'd add
that I saw one at Discovery Park in Seattle, yesterday, harrying a flock
of Bonaparte's Gulls.

There were lots of BONAPARTE'S GULLS and CALIFORNIA GULLS visible from
the beach, with a few MEW and RING-BILLED GULLS mixed in, but not too
much else. I saw 3 HORNED GREBES and 3 RED-NECKED GREBES, and there was
a lone WESTERN GREBE in a small flock of SURF SCOTERS.

Passerines of note included my first RUBY-CROWNED KINGLETS of the
season, a PURPLE FINCH, 2 PINE SISKINS (at last), 2 ORANGE-CROWNED
WARBLERS, a TOWNSEND'S WARBLER, and 3 EVENING GROSBEAKS.
