Tweeters - I was able to find Matt Bartel's Tropical Kingbird at Marymoor
this afternoon at about 3:30, in the East Meadow. At about 4:00, it flew to
the western portion of Snag Row, and at about 4:15 it flew to some conifers
near the concert stage. I left Brian Bell and Ryan Merrill trying to spot
it over there, with several other people coming down to the park to look. I
hope they got to see it, but it was clearly willing to move around the park.

This Tropical Kingbird has the honor of being the 200th bird on the Marymoor
Park list. I include all birds that have been seen on my weekly surveys, as
well as birds reported by credible sources. I've included all historical
records that I've come across, though we've managed to see most of the
notable birds from older records (like the Least Flycatcher, with a
historical report from 1983, but with one found this year). As it turns
out, the oldest unrepeated sighting on the list is a Cattle Egret sighting
from November, 1994, so this list represents the species seen in less than
14 years. .I've personally seen 186 of the 200.
