WAITAMINUTE - 59??? On a terrible day at Marymoor? Okay, so there must
have been a few highlights, even if it didn't feel like it. It really was
dark and dreary and WINDY, and definitely not feeling like spring. The only
species we had today that we didn't have last Thursday was Hermit Thrush,
and that was obscurely seen near the weir and barely heard singing in the
southeast part of the trail. Oh, and I guess the Hairy Woodpecker wasn't
seen last week either. But the list was basically last week's list minus
ten species. Here's what we did have:

California Quail Heard at two locations
Green Heron Trying not to be seen at the Rowing Club
Osprey Kiting over the slough
Barn Owl 2 babies out of the nest box
R.-br. Sapsucker A couple of nice looks
Brown Creeper Close encounter NE of mansion
Bushtit At a nest at Rowing Club
American Robin On a nest at the Rowing Club
Y.-rumped Warbler Not as many as last week, but still...
Or.-crowned Warbler Maybe a half-dozen
House Finch 1 of the really yellow ones at the Pea Patch

Big misses for the day: Pied-billed Grebe, American Coot, Killdeer, Vaux's
Swift, BARN SWALLOW, Lincoln's Sparrow, House Sparrow.

Adding in my sightings from Tuesday (Western Meadowlark, Short-eared Owl,
Cedar Waxwing, Lincoln's Sparrow, Sharp-shinned Hawk, Say's Phoebe), we're
at 65 species for the week, and 109 for the year.
