Hello Tweets,

On Saturday four birders, Nancy Hubley, Linda Phillips, Carol Ray and Andy McCormick conducted the monthly Eastside Audubon survey of St. Edward's State Park in Kenmore, WA. This list is my personal checklist. Other members of the group also saw HERMIT THRUSH, BALD EAGLE, and ANNA'S HUMMINGBIRD which are included on the Eastside Audubon account checklist. It was a fine morning with considerable bird activity. The full report follows.

The morning was sunny, 43-48F mostly calm winds throughout. The birds census was conducted by Andy, Carol, Linda and Nancy.

Then south along the park road past the seminary building then east along the Water Tower trail for about 150 yards returning to the orchard area. Then along the right fork of the Orchard Loop and west along the South Canyon Trail to the lakeshore. Then north along the Beach Trail and up the North Trail returning to the North Parking Lot.
