Hi Tweets



Michael is in Paris and then the Czech Republic, and Matt is away, so Sharon
Aagard and I substituted at Marymoor this morning. It is definitely summer,
although it started out at 57 degrees this morning with ground fog . It
burned off quickly and got warm (well 82 degrees hot) by the finish.



It was a good day with lots of juveniles and lots of weird "songs" and
calls.



Mom and 3 juvenile Wood Ducks at the lake

3 immature Hooded Mergansers at the rowing club ponds

1 American Bittern heard (really unusual for this time of year)

Osprey at nest and over river

Nesting Red-tailed Hawks have all fledged

A couple of American Coots at the lake (they have been scarce recently)

2 Spotted Sandpipers near the weir

3 Band-tailed Pigeons

Barn Owls - at windmill and later 3 over model airplane field

Common Nighthawk - heard early

Lots of Western Wood-Pewees and Willow Flycatchers

1 Yellow-rumped Warbler
