Tweets - the rain was mostly just mist, and there was no wind. It *was*
dark, but I really expected things to be more active at Marymoor than they
were. It was *quiet*! We tried walking slowly, listening carefully,
pishing, etc., but we couldn't come up with much.

Highlights:

Mallard Female with ~8 small ducklings
Northern Shoveler ~5 in a flyby with a dozen possible wigeon
Band-tailed Pigeon 4 flew over the windmill
E. COLLARED-DOVE 2 near Compost Piles
Pileated Woodpecker Near start of boardwalk
WESTERN KINGBIRD East Meadow, briefly - thanks Lillian
B.-headed Grosbeak 1+ singing, seen poorly
Evening Grosbeak 1 heard flying overhead

For warblers, we had only a few YELLOW-RUMPED, 2+ ORANGE CROWNED, and
several COMMON YELLOWTHROAT. Besides that, not even a Wilson's today.

For mammals, Matt saw deer, and we had muskrat and RACCOON (Rowing Club)
along with the usual cottontails and gray squirrels.

Back on April 23, Dasha Gudalewicz had a PURPLE MARTIN.

For the day, nearly 60 species. For the year, I think we're up to 124,
adding the martin, collared-dove, and Black-headed Grosbeak.
