> The Puget Sound Seabird Survey continues to actively recruit volunteers for the 12th season. We have open survey sites all over the Puget Sound, including sites in Tacoma, the Key Peninsula, Olympia, Port Townsend and West of Port Angeles. This season we're expanding the project to include Skagit, Whatcom and San Juan counties, and so there are a number of new and exciting sites that have never been surveyed before! There is no better way to bird in the winter, and contribute to science, than recording seabirds. You should also try our short seabird ID quiz http://bit.ly/2m94XrX - how many can you get right?

> Hi folks,

>

> It was a good day to be out birding, and we got to view a few mixed-species flocks, and got great views of Warbling Vireos, Black-throated Gray, Yellow, Orange-crowned, Wilson's and Yellow Warblers, Western Wood-pewees still feeding a fledgling, a Willow Flycatcher, and Chestnut-backed Chickadees. There are a lot of young birds-of-the-year to be seen, making species identifications a bit more problematic. It is definitely Autumn, based on the cooler weather (with fresh, non-smoky air), and based on the fact that we saw our first migrant White-fronted Geese of the year, and Wigeon over the marsh.

>

> Those who went out onto the estuary boardwalk were treated to views of a juvenile Whimbrel, as well as Least and Western Sandpipers & Semipalmated Plovers in the ?peep? flock.

>

> One of the exciting ?life history? moments was when we saw a Bald Eagle fly to the mudflat at the base of the estuary boardwalk, carrying a recently-deceased immature California Gull, and began to pluck it for its lunch. We watched for a bit, as another adult Bald came in to wait its turn for a meal, and a Peregrine flew over checking out the situation. We pointed it out to a couple of birders coming back from the boardwalk. They noted that they?d seen a Peregrine kill the young gull, and the eagle came down and pirated the prey from the Falcon!! Nature in the Raw!

>

> Here?s hoping to see you at Nisqually, where we meet at the Visitors? Center at 8 a.m. every Wednesday. Good Birding,

> Tweets ? I?m glad we were out yesterday, and not this morning. Instead of soaking showers, we had a thin overcast and little to no wind. It was very pleasant; good owling weather pre-dawn, and a good morning of birding after that featured a good mix of species, if lacking in huge numbers of birds and great looks.

>

> Predawn, we had an eight-year-old girl and her dad out by 5:00 a.m. to try for owls, and we were at least fairly successful. Wonderful to nurture the excitement of preadolescent learning!

>

> Highlights:

> a.. Vaux?s Swift ? still a couple around flying with swallows

> b.. Green Heron ? juvenile at Rowing Club pond again

> c.. Osprey ? two sightings

> d.. Bald Eagle ? one adult at lake

> e.. Northern Harrier ? one over Dog Meadow

> f.. Cooper?s Hawk ? two sightings

> g.. Red-tailed Hawk ? several

> h.. Barn Owl ? a couple of brief views, one early, one just before sunrise

> i.. Western Screech-Owl ? heard very well east of boardwalk; don?t know how we never saw it

> j.. ? Four woodpecker day ? and we may have heard Pileated as well

> k.. MERLIN ? seen twice, second time going after Barn Swallows

> l.. Willow Flycatcher ? still a couple

> m.. PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER ? juvenile in Dog Meadow

> n.. Violet-green Swallow ? At least 20

> o.. Barn Swallow ? At least 100, with another hundred+ swallows over lake, too far for ID

> p.. Swainson?s Thrush ? should be gone in a week or two, but still had 2 sightings, 3+ more heard

> q.. ? EIGHT sparrow day ? including:

> a.. FOX SPARROW ? First of Fall, fairly early date

> b.. GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROW ? First of Fall ? At least 2

> r.. Orange-crowned Warbler ? seen at several locations - 5+ birds

> s.. Common Yellowthroat ? a few around, and still singing mature males

> t.. Yellow Warbler ? seen at several locations - 4+ birds

> u.. Black-throated Gray Warbler ? one in Dog Meadow pine tree

> On my way out, I added GLAUCOUS-WINGED GULL and ROCK PIGEON; that got us to 60 species for the day, despite missing Hooded Merganser, Band-tailed Pigeon (might have glimpsed), American Coot, Marsh Wren, Yellow-rumped Warbler, and Western Tanager (possibly glimpsed).

> Over the next two weeks, extensive changes in the species list are expected, coinciding with the equinox.
