Tweets - we had a big group of birders (20+) sorting through the birds at
Marymoor today, despite the damp and the mist. No swallows today, and it
otherwise didn't feel particularly spring-like, except for the quantity and
variety of bird song. Lots of (mostly ornamental) fruit trees in bloom,
though.

Highlights:

Wood Duck Pair in slough
Gr. White-fronted Goose 1 with a small flock of Canadas
Brown Creeper Notably many sightings
Cedar Waxwing About a dozen at Rowing Club
Western Meadowlark 2 near Compost Piles
Purple Finch LARGE flock at Rowing Club (20+)
Coyote 1 on grass soccer fields at 7:00

At the Rowing Club, there was a pair of HOUSE FINCH, and the male appeared
to be ripping strips of bark off of a branch, presumably for use as nesting
material.

We had a dozen species of bird singing, including RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET, FOX
and GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROWS, and PURPLE FINCH.

For the day, 57-58 species. For the year, 78 species.
