Hi Carol:
Thanks for the update.
What about the Wandering Tattler seen on by David, Steve, and Josh on 8/14?

We only added three new year birds in July: Long-billed Dowitcher (code 3) in the Edmonds marsh on 7-12; Semipalmated Sandpiper (code 3) in the Edmonds marsh on 7-13; and a Great Egret (code 4) in the Edmonds marsh on 7-30. We added the following year birds in August: a Whimbrel (code 3) in the Edmonds marsh on 8-4; a Pectoral Sandpiper in the Edmonds marsh on 8-7; a Semipalmated Plover (code 3) in the Edmonds marsh on 8-8; and the first Red-necked Phalaropes (code 3) on the waterfront on 8-14.

The first Red-necked Phalaropes were an early sighting for this location. They were followed by many more small flocks during the last full week of August.

A MacGillivray's Warbler (code 4) was spotted in Yost Park during spring migration and a second was seen at Chase Lake on 8-15. This warbler is not reported in Edmonds every year so it is significant to have two this year.
