I live in a condo building that's built up against the greenbelt on lower Queen Anne. I looked out the window on the neighborhood side a few minutes ago and saw movement in 2 alder trees out there. Unbelievable! In 3-4 minutes, I had the following:

Orange-Crowned Warbler
Black-Throated Gray Warbler
Yellow Warbler
Warbling Vireo
Black-Headed Grosbeak
6-7 Western Tanagers (been hearing them for 3-4 days)
Many Bushtits
1 Bewick's Wren
2 Stellar Jays
1 Flicker
Bunch o' Starlings

There must've been a bug convention in those trees!
Had to break the magic spell by running out to chase off a cat that was just as interested as I was.
