Hey tweets, the Fill was really hopping with migrants this morning.
Constellations of Yellow Warblers are coming through, ranging in sun-
bright yellowness all the way from a G-zero class star to G-8. Some of
them are rivaled by very yellow-looking Orange-crowned Warblers, who
don't seem to mind foraging right next to duller colored brethren. I
found bunches in every bush, most especially in the alder grove kitty-
corner from the kiosk, in the cottonwoods and treeline near Boy Scout
Pond, and in Surber Grove. Also in mixed flocks were Warbling Vireos
and Willow Flycatchers and one Lincoln's Sparrow.

Also in Surber: an Olive-sided Flycatcher (!!), Red-breasted Nuthatch,
Golden-crowned Kinglet, and Brown Creeper.

Three juvenile Cooper's Hawks were doing their best to snare one of
the hundreds of American Goldfinches feasting on the chicory in Hunn
Meadow East. No luck. They ganged up on the Green Heron who has made
Main Pond its home, but that was bust too. The Green Heron was too
feisty. - Connie, Seattle
