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.
