Group of three BLACK SWIFT heading NNE over Volunteer Park, Seattle at 1030am-ish on May 29. Quite high and just visible to the naked eye but I got lucky seeing them in the background of a group of swallows I was checking out in the bins.

Rather birdy in the canopy in VP today especially on the west side of he park at 8am-ish when the sun hits the tops of the trees just north of reservoir.

Female NASHVILLE WARBLER along with BULLOCK'S ORIOLE, OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER (several of the past few days), PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER, ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER, YELLOW WARBLER and (of coursem, lots of) WILSON'S WARBLER.

WESTERN TANAGERS are now "junk birds" (in less than 20 days from being first heard :-)

Interlaken Park was a bust though. Not enough sun in the canopy.
