Tweets et al.,

As fortune would have it, I ran into Michael as he was taking a photo of the
ASH-THROATED FLYCATCHER, which disappeared briefly but reappeared low in two
shrubby hawthorns in the East Meadow. I last saw it flying east to the edge
of the willows and was unable to relocate it.

While hiking the trail through the East Meadow I spotted not one but two
EASTERN KINGBIRDS, I suspect both males as they interacted quite
aggressively. I saw either one of those or perhaps even a third south along
the trail to the ash grove.

I then cut across the lower edge of the dog run area to the slough in hopes
of locating the LEAST FLYCATCHER. It was chebecking vigorously from the
cottonwoods at the northernmost dog swimming area along the slough (at 12:30
PM Thursday June 17). I tried to record the songs but my equipment
malfunctioned.

Quite a day!

Subject: [Tweeters] Marymoor Ash-throated Flycatcher

Banner day at Marymoor Park today, with the Least Flycatcher and the Eastern

Kingbird. Now we've got the Patagonia Effect going on. MaryFrances Mathis
went to the East Meadow to look for the kingbird, and found an ASH-THROATED
FLYCATCHER instead. She just called me with the news minutes after I got
home, so I'm off to the park again.
