Found "tschup"-ing bright buffy LINCOLN'S SPARROW underneath the powerlines just west of Tiny's Land, our place in n. Lake Stevens, yesterday morn. This is earlier than most year's First-of-(fall) Season birds. Also of note since we seldom get them--four BLACK SWIFTS were soaring high above the yard about 7:15 a.m. 44 species for the day, these are just posted to EBird.
