Hi tweets,

Today, I birded all over King County with Scott Ramos, Spencer Hildie, and
Adrian Lee, for a county big day. I'll send a full report later, but
wanted to highlight a few rarities we encountered.

We ran into several birds already reported by others today: the continuing
Lewis's Woodpecker at Magnuson Park, the American Avocet at 124th St and
Willows Rd north of Redmond, and the Wilson's Phalarope at M Street marsh
in Auburn.

At the Stillwater unit of the Snoqualmie Wildlife Area, we found an
unusually cooperative Dusky Flycatcher near the river, giving "whit" calls
and perching out in the open.

While scoping from the overlook at Me-Kwa-Mooks Park in West Seattle, we
found a Clark's Grebe in a large raft of Western Grebes.

And the Long-billed Curlew near Duvall, which I emailed about earlier.

It was a fantastic day to be out!
