Tweets - we timed the rain "perfectly", meaning that we got hit with the
hardest rain of the day. Mist turned to drizzle, to light rain, and then to
steady rain around 9:00, before fading back to mist by the time we were at
the Rowing Club. The birds mostly chose to hide out for the 5 hours we were
at Marymoor, and I don't blame them.

Highlights:

Black Swift 1 seen from the lake platform
Red-breasted Sapsucker 1 eating elderberries at the RC
Hairy Woodpecker Adult bring food to the nest
near the start of the boardwalk
Cedar Waxwing Especially numerous
Long-tailed Weasel At the Pea Patch - stole the show
(and caught a mouse or vole)

It's very unusual for us to get BLACK SWIFT on a rainy day. Usually,
they're only at Marymoor on cloudy days without precipitation.

For they day, just 55 species.
