This morning there are two highly vocal Olive-sided Flycatchers making the rounds of the conifer tops in the northern part of Lincoln Park in Seattle. Also, all three vireos (Hutton's, Warbling, Cassin's) in various parts of the park. Tons of Wilson's Warblers, and a smattering of Townsend's, Orange-crowned, and Black-throated Gray moving around in several mixed flocks.
At my home near Tukwila, I just had a Western Kingbird for yardbird #92, as well as Warbling Vireos, Wilson's, Yellow-rumped, Orange-crowned and YELLOW (first of year for me) Warblers. Also, singing Swainson's Thrush. Most of these yardbirds were not present, at least not in such numbers, yesterday, so it seems a major push of migrants came in last night...
