Tweets - We were all shocked. The forecast was for patchy morning ground
fog, and Marymoor is *always* one of those patches. But not today.
Instead, we had high overcast and a bit of a chilly breeze, but otherwise
excellent weather. And it was birdy.

Highlights:

Gr. Wh.-fronted Goose 1 adult with Cacklers
Cackling Goose Huge flock on grass soccer fields
Wood Duck 2 pair (maybe only 1) on slough
Green-winged Teal First of fall - male at Rowing Club
Common Goldeneye Especially numerous (dozen or more)
Barn Owl Nice looks as late as 7:15
Hairy Woodpecker Male near park office
Northern Shrike Fields 7-8-9 after 8:00 a.m.
Common Raven 1-2, a couple of sightings
American Pipit 1 flew over soccer fields
Y.-rumped Warbler Several at Rowing Club
Red-winged Blackbird 30+ at Rowing Club (all males?)
Pine Siskin Many great looks at large flocks

We couldn't turn up any Common Redpolls, despite the Pine Siskins being
unusually cooperative.

For the day, 59 species. I had a SHARP-SHINNED HAWK near the windmill
yesterday, to make at least 60 species for the week.
