[Tweeters] Marymoor Park (Redmond, King Co.) 2025-05-22

Tweets - an extremely late report of last Thursday's survey.  I headed
straight out after the survey to scout near Yakima for the WOS/WFO
conference in early June.

At Marymoor, the day began slowly under a high overcast, but as the day
warmed and the skies cleared, the birds came out. The Rowing Club had a
burst of birds.

Highlights:
     Gull sp. - A flock of about a dozen gulls with black wingtips flew
north in a perfect vee.  Really unsure what they might have been
     Green Heron - One landed briefly in the Dog Meadow, for our 3rd
sighting of the year
     Turkey Vulture - One over the Rowing Club - First of Year (FOY)
     Olive-sided Flycatcher - One in the large Oregon Ash at the Rowing
Club (FOY)
     Willow Flycatcher - One at the SE corner of the East Meadow, singing
(FOY)
     Evening Grosbeak - Several flyovers, and a few even briefly landed in
a cottonwood.  They almost NEVER land in the park
     Bullock's Oriole - Male at the Rowing Club (FOY)

Misses included Common Merganser, Rock Pigeon, Red-tailed Hawk, Barn
Swallow, and Cliff Swallow

For the day, 64 species plus the mystery gulls.  For the year, we're up to
114.
