Tweets - I did a solo trip to Marymoor today because I'm driving out to the
WOS Conference this afternoon. Matt will be leading the regular walk
tomorrow.

This morning was very dary overcast, and it was windy at times. There was
also a pretty strong migrant pulse, which made for great birding. No
rarities, but lots of birds and lots of action at times.

The best flock was at the southwest edge of the East Meadow. The flock
comprised:

Warbling Vireo Maybe 6
Red-eyed Vireo 1-2
Orange-crowned Warbler 6-8
Yellow Warbler 2-4
Black-throated Gray Warbler 1
Black-capped Chickadee 8+
American Robin 8
Cedar Waxwing 10
Western Tanager 1-2
Swainson't Thrush 2+
Hermit Thrush 1
Common Yellowthroat 2+
Spotted Towhee 1
American Goldfinch 6
Song Sparrow 1-2
Purple Finch 4
Northern Flicker 3

Now that's a flock! Other highlights:

Green Heron One at Rowing Club
Cooper's Hawk Adult (male?) in Snag Row
Hairy Woodpecker Male just east of Pet Garden
Vaux's Swift Still 1 around
Lincoln's Sparrow 8+., singly, scattered all over the
park
Black-headed Grosbeak Still 1 around

I had 51 species in 4+ hours (I skipped the Mansion area)
