Tweets - It was cool, dark, misting, and q-u-i-e-t this morning at
Marymoor.  Lots of juvenile birds making strange sounds while doing
strange things and looking rather strange.  Those tended to lead to
more confusion than excitement amongst us birders, though.

Highlights:
     Caspian Tern - One spotted far out towards the lake by Mason.
Only the 2nd sighting for the survey this year
     Green Heron - Two adults and a juvenile at the Rowing Club pond
     Cooper's Hawk - A couple of sightings of juvenile(s).  First of Fall (FOF)
     Bald Eagle - Five adults simultaneously, at the lake
     BARN OWL - Matt had one pre-dawn in the East Meadow, the First of
Year (FOY) for the survey
     Yellow-rumped Warblers - A small swarm along Snag Row, seemingly
all juveniles, though glimpses and much calling were all that we got
(FOF)
     Wilson's Warbler - One with the YRWAs

Our other highlights were 5 DEER - two males across the slough below
the weir, then a female and two fawns near the park maintenance
buildings.  Also, we had a RIVER OTTER seen from the Lake Platform,
our first since February.

For the day, 46 species.  For the year, adding Barn Owl, we're at 123 species.
