Hi Tweets,

Birds seemed a little quiet around Edmonds this morning, perhaps
because of the clouds and cool weather. Yesterday at the Marsh Steve
Pink had a YELLOW WARBLER and AMERICAN PIPITS. Ted Peterson had been
there a little earlier and saw neither, but he had 10-12 LEAST
SANDPIPERS. During this last week they have seen HUTTON'S VIREO,
CASSIN'S VIREO, and PACIFIC SLOPE FLYCATCHERS in Yost Park. Our only
warblers this morning were two BLACK-THROATED GRAYS in Yost Park.
But, of note, we did have an OSPREY from the Marsh. It was perched
high in a snag on the bluff to the south of the Marsh, which put it
in Woodway. Here is this morning's list:
