Hi Tweets

Michael is still in the Czech Republic, so Matt Bartels and I subbed for him at Marymoor yesterday. It was a typical late August morning (so a short report this time) - warm, clear, almost no birds singing, but lots of young birds around. Surprisingly, we were only joined by 4 other birders.

Notable species for the day included:
Barn Owl in the east meadow early,
our first Lincoln's Sparrow at the dirt piles early,
3 (maybe 4) Green Herons along the river,
and the Pied-billed Grebes are definitely back (or at least showing themselves).

While we had to really search out the birds, we wound up seeing 48 (maybe 49 if a hummingbird was a Rufuous) species.

Michael will be back next week, and the starting time remains 6:30 AM.
