Highlights this morning were 2 Parasitic Jaegers (one dark, one light)
attending some of the many gull feeding frenzies offshore, 2 newly arrived
Thayer's Iceland Gulls (pics and full list at
https://ebird.org/checklist/S119198334), flocks of Violet-green Swallows
mixed with Vaux's Swifts high overhead moving from the Strait of Juan de
Fuca to Puget Sound, and a surprise Pileated Woodpecker flying over the
lighthouse.

No sign of last week's Lesser Black-backed but we continue to look, as the
gull activity remains high.

In town Yellow and Orange-cr Warblers remain, and have been supplemented
with all the expected sparrows, getting thicker by the day.

good birding,
