Tweets ? It was WET. Steady, hard rain until 11:00 a.m., when the wind
briefly blew the rain away. Quite soon, however, the rain regained its
strength despite the wind. It was WET. Though the thermometer said it was
a balmy 41 degrees, try telling that to my hands. Oh, and it was WET.
Highlights:
BARN SWALLOW - 3 SE of East Meadow ? probably the same ones seen on Saturday
on the Eastside Audubon CBC. We?ve never had any swallows at Marymoor in
the winter before (Dec-Feb).
BROWN CREEPER - Singing! A couple of Bewick?s Wrens also sang, but they
might have been triggered by the sound of an iPod playing Pacific Wren
RED CROSSBILL - Heard at 8:00 a.m. near mansion
COOL FUNGI - Growing on the deceased Camperdown Elm next to the windmill, at
least 3 species
For the day, the eight Intrepid Birders found 48 species.
