Hi Tweets

I arrived at Marymoor at about 5:15 today and worked the area over for
about 25 minutes without finding the Ash-throated Flycatcher. At 5:40 I was
walking north on the East Meadow trail and the Flycatcher flew from one
Hawthorne to another and perched, giving good views. As I was trying to make
a phone call and looked away briefly the bird flew and I didn't see what
direction it flew. I walked more of the East Meadow trail and gradually came
back south. At 5:50 the Flycatcher flew down making a pass into the grass
and back up toward the top of a small deciduous tree (about 8 feet tall).
When I looked it did not perch but apparently flew through toward the west.
I searched for it for another 15 minutes without relocating it.

One of the Eastern Kingbirds was perched in the middle of the meadow, fairly
close to the north end of the meadow.

Good searching for the Ash-throated.
