Tweets - I was doing a morning's birding in south King County and found
several nice birds.
At Emerald Downs, there was a BLACK-NECKED STILT, at the north end of the
pond that's visible from M St. Also present there were dowitchers, Least
Sandpipers, quite possibly some
Semipalmated Sandpipers (but I couldn't be 100% sure), and a Eurasian
Wigeon. The stilt was still present when I left at 1:45.
The Western Kingbird that was reported yesterday was still at 204th St. in
Kent.
I had 3 Mountain Bluebirds on Frager east of the scrub-jay spot (and Western
Scrub-Jay *at* the scrub-jay spot).
At Eagle Landing Park in Burien I had a singing Pacific-slope Flycatcher.
4 county year birds, one of which was a county lifer. Not a bad half-day of
birding.
