Hello all,
wanted to ask if anybody else has problems with their email cutting off the
later messages? I can see the complete list of "Today's Topics", but I can
only see the first 3 messages or so; the rest are cut off. Exactly how many
I can see varies depending on the length of each individual message. I have
always used Microsoft outlook and never had a problem until a year ago. This
same problem has happened on two different computers going thru three
different ISP's. I emailed the Tweeters admin and they did not seem to know
what is causing the problem. I have received extremely long emails other
than tweeters and they are never cutoff. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you, Michael

Hello, tweets.

Netta Smith and I were at the pond at the end of Eide Road from 9-10 am
yesterday 19 August, just after high tide. There was a roosting flock of
about 2,000 Western Sandpipers, the only other shorebirds a juvenile Lesser
Yellowlegs and 6 fly-by Killdeers.

The most interesting thing was the steady stream of adult Caspian Terns
passing from south to north between us and Camano Island. I counted 55 in
that period. Where were they coming from, going to?

A juvenile Peregrine Falcon finally came in and scared all the shorebirds
away. Didnt catch one, but it does have a happy hunting ground there.

Tweets -
With Michael out today, Brian and I headed up the weekly walk. The 10 of us
gathered realized pretty early on that Michael might well have snuck in
yesterday and removed a good portion of the park's birds -- it was eerily
quiet for much of the day. We seem to have hit a trough in the surges of
migrants and local birds. Weather was refreshing -- cool, low 60s, and
misting for much of the walk.

Despite the overall quiet, we did have some nice surprises as ever:

Great Blue Heron as with last week , some young on the nest
again, rumbling away
Green Heron 2 , one immature at the lake platform, 1
adult at the Rowing Club pond looking sharp
Virginia Rail 1, decent views at lake platform
Sora 1, even better views, at lake platform
Greater Yellowlegs 1.fly-by at lake platform
Caspian Tern 1, fly-over in dog area, I think the first in ~2
months and I think our latest sighting ever at Marymoor
Pileated Woodpecker 1, early across the slough
Pacific-slope Flycatcher 1, at Rowing Club, our only flycatcher of
the day
Swainson's Thursh only 1 seen, but before dawn I had several flying
over giving their migration call note - first time this season for that.
American Robin making the list only because the total number was
about the same as Swainson's Thursh - fewer than 10 all day - wow.
Lincoln's Sparrow 1, first of fall, at viewing mound - it looks like
next week is typically the week they arrive at Marymoor very consistently,
so a little early
Western Tanager 1 or 2

The rail show was the highlight of the day -- I'd heard Virginia Rail early
at the lake platform, so we played for it while out there as a group, and
one responded. When we went to look for it, we found a rail. Despite my
trying to turn it into the heard Virginia Rail for a bit, wiser minds
prevailed and said 'nope, that's a Sora' -- it ended up giving us amazing
looks, and eventually the Virginia Rail came out to join it for less
excellent but still good looks. Double rail views in one place!

We had a couple small flocks of mixed passerines - not the warbler flocks of
recent weeks though- A few Black-throated Gray Warblers, a couple Warbling
Vireos, Yellow Warblers, and nearby Common Yellowthroats, but none of the
other warblers we might normally come across.

Notable misses show the changing of the season - No Black-headed Grosbeaks,
no Western Wood-Pewees, probably no Willow Flycatchers [I heard a plausible
'whit' call repeated several times, but didn't think it was enough to be
confident enough to count it]. No Owls, no Gulls, and a dip on Bushtit

For the day, we came up with 54 species.
