Juanita Bay Park was full of birds today including at least 800 Pine
Siskins. The two most unusual species were the male Barrow's Goldeneye
which has now been present for over a month with the flock of Common
Goldeneyes on the far side of the bay, and a tan-stripe White-throated
Sparrow which has also been around for awhile now on the gravel road near
the firestation, though is seldomly seen (by me at least). Below is a copy
of my eBird report.

Also, the park's 3rd Northern Shrike made a brief appearance on Saturday
afternoon.

Good Birding,
