Matt, Tweets,

After missing them early Monday morning at the Fill I lucked out this morning as a pair of WILSON'S PHALAROPES flushed and flew off north along West Snoqualmie River Rd. (WSRR) at about 1.5 miles north of the Woodinville-Duvall highway (W-D hwy). Also, a pair of WESTERN KINGBIRDS is nest building on perhaps the same transformer as they used last year, at 1.0 miles north of the W-D hwy on the WSRR, in front of an apparently abandoned house with a green roof. A SORA and a WILSON'S SNIPE were calling from a grassy pond at 1.5 mi n along this road and there were also AMERICAN KESTRELS and NORTHERN HARRIERS in attendance.

Down at Stillwater I ran into Rachel Lawson and Katrina from PA. WILLOW FLYCATCHERS are in but barely. I heard two in the distance and Rachel saw one further south along the Snoqualmie Valley Trail. In summer here they are a dime a dozen. Two singing male LAZULI BUNTINGS were on the trail to the river plus the BANK SWALLOWS are in in force, at least 50 at their colony. The river was high. BLUE-WINGED and CINNAMON TEALS at Sikes Lake near the "Carnation Farms" and in flooded fields along West Snoqualmie River Rd. nw of Duvall.

Subject: [Tweeters] Wilson's Phalarope at the Fill Monday morning [Seattle, WA]

Hi Tweets -
This morning at the Montlake Fill [UBNA] in Seattle, a Wilson's Phalarope was on the main pond.

Blue-winged Teal were on Shovellers Pond, and Cinammon Teal were all over the place.

Best,
