Observed this morning (5/24) between 9-11am at Snohomish County Northcreek
Park (off Hwy 527, just south of Mill Creek, turn west on 183rd St SE):

2 RED-TAILED HAWKS (harassed by crow and blackbirds)
3 COMMON YELLOWTHROAT WARBLERS
3 CEDAR WAXWINGS
2 GREEN-WINGED TEAL
1 CINNAMON TEAL
plus lots of Red-Winged Blackbirds, Barn Swallows, Marsh Wrens, a pair of
Gadwalls, mallards.

I am a beginning birder who just started this month (Beginning Birding
class from Seattle Audubon was excellent). Every place I've
gone I have encountered other birders, who have *all* been incredibly
friendly and helpful (I found Northcreek Park thanks to a birder at
the Kenmore Heron Rookery). Most of them mention Tweeters, so thank you
all! And please feel free to send suggestions on posting
style/etiquette/etc to my email below.

Happy Birding,
