marc hoffman and myself were out there around 830 yesterday morning, but we didn't hear or see the catbird. we did manage to find a fair number of lazuli buntings, and we Think we heard the indigo bunting near the brook...

lots of flycatchers around, especially willow, but we punted on the least.

Tweets,



As no one else posted I can affirm that the Gray Catbird was hanging out along the west edge of the first meadow just to the left of the parking lot in Three Forks Natural Area just opposite Centennial Park this morning, Wednesday, June 17, at 7:30 AM. According to my records this is the first confirmed catbird sighting in King County since 1931!



I ran into Bob Sundstrom with an eager crew of birders heading in the direction of the Indigo Bunting and they pointed me to where they had heard the catbird singing. I don?t know if they found the bunting and least flycatchers or not.
