Hi Tweeters -
The Gray Catbird first reported yesterday by Tayler Brooks at Three
Forks Park [in Snoqualmie, King Co] was still present as of about
7:20 this evening. I heard from MaryFrances Mathis that it was still
around, so after work I zoomed on out to give it a try.

For those unable to use the link to the map below : From the parking
lot, go through the dog gate and take the mowed path to the left. The
path skirts the edge of a field. Where the path turns right at the
end of the field, there's a big maple at the corner. The Gray Catbird
was hanging out in the maple. It came right out to an ipod playback
and sang for quite a while.

I made a brief look for the Indigo Bunting, and believe I heard it
singing -- but it was late and the mosquitos were biting, so I didn't
last long. Glad others were there earlier to confirm it is still
present.

Boy, with the Indigo Bunting, Least Flycatcher, Gray Catbird, and
[earlier this spring] Lewis's Woodpecker & Swainson's Hawk, Three
Forks really is living up to MF's description of this park as our own
little "Patagonia Picnic Table". What's next?
