Subject: [Tweeters] American Redstart still at Stillwater, King County

I checked on our redstart pair at Stillwater this afternoon and the male was
singing and patrolling the vicinity of the nest, but I couldn't spot the
nest. Either it's gone or just very well hidden. I hope the female was
sitting on egg. Time will tell.



The powers that be have plowed right across the track leading to the nest
site, so where the existing track bends left (south) keep on straight across
the plowed field to the island of brush and trees and pick up the trail
beyond, continue straight ahead to the riparian forest margin where you'll
find the trail across the metal bridge (without railing), force your way 100
yards through the tall grass to the clearing and the opening at the slough.



Gene.



PS: Also Red-eyed Vireos there.
