Hey tweets, I just found an EASTERN PHOEBE at Montlake Fill!!! It was
foraging for insects on the eastern side of Blue Forest North, then
flew into Blue Forest South.

Field marks:
Flycatcher with no wing bars, no eye-ring; good-sized; dark of head
merged with dark cheeks; washed with yellow below on belly; grayish
breast flanking whitish in the middle (giving a vest-like appearance,
but not as definitively as an Olive-sided Flycatcher); very plain
back, dark brown with a hint of olive coloring; pumped and spread it
tail whenever perched, but didn't stay perched for long; gave frequent
sharp chips.

Also present at Fill today:
5 Dunlins at Mud Island
1 Trumpeter Swan on lake
1 Pileated Woodpecker at Yesler Cove (flew off toward Foster Island)
