I saw a hug group of Turkey Vultures along the 101 going north from Olympia to Jefferson County on Thursday evening. More than I've ever seen in one place in Washington -; maybe 30, cruising along the highway in a more or less southerly direction.

Subject: [Tweeters] Turkey Vultures over Union Bay/Fill


Yesterday a kettle of Turkey Vultures flew over and just west of Montlake Fill around 10:30AM. The drifted north to south. I was so excited that I forgot to count, but I now estimate there were 20 or so. At least a couple other birders noticed them. There are photos of the individuals at

but I didn't get a photo of the kettle (right term?) as a whole. It was impressive, and I had never seen any in King County before.

Also, another birder reported a White-throated Sparrow over near the entrance to the Yesler Swamp area, but I didn't see it.

FOF Pine Siskin for me in the Kern Restoration Area.
