Hi Tweets-

Michael was out today, so 4 of us filled in at the weekly Marymoor walk - It was a beautiful day while we were there, but our hopes to make Michael jealous by finding a rarity weren’t fulfilled.
Purple Finch and Yellow-rumped Warblers were constantly singing throughout the day, but overall the numbers of birds seen seemed low.

Highlights:

Common Yellowthroat - first of yer for the walk - we _thought_ we heard several, but finally in the east meadow had a male singing and sesn for sure.
Osprey - after a single high-flying bird was our only signting last week, this week it seemed as if they were moved in - we heard and saw them several times throughout the day, though the Canada Geese are still clinging to the two Osprey nest platforms for now.
Wilson’s Snipe - several below the weir still
Only one Fox Sparrow heard today, and we got close to missing Ruby-crowned Kinglet - 

Misses included Common Goldeneye, Rock Pigeon, Hairy Woodpecker, Violet-green Swallow, Barn Swallow, American Goldfinch.

For the day, 55 species [counting ‘accip. sp]
