To-day in the Capehart Section of Discovery Park were two Black-headed Grosbeaks
in pre-adult plumage. Located by calls. Not really a call more like a "chirp". Assume they
were males. They were close to zone where they are common in breeding season. David

This is just a quick note to alert people that a SNOWY OWL was photographed this morning and posted on Ebird. I have since learned that the bird was near Lawrence and Tyler and was being harassed by crows. It is currently MIA but could be anywhere in the vicinity or neighboring beaches.
Midday, John Piatt and I had a YELLOW-BILLED LOON at Point Wilson. This bird ended up flying southwest beyond Port Townsend and Indian Island towards Fort Townsend.
If anyone sees the owl, please post to Tweeters. Thank you!

Tweets ? We had a moisty misty morning today, with only a brief clearing mid-morning but mostly a lot of gray. Not terribly birdy, and there were long stretches with virtually nothing seen or heard. But the relatively warm temps, the moderately dry conditions, and the low wind allowed us to track down a few birds.
Highlights:
a.. Greater White-fronted Goose ? one in a flock of 450+ Cackling Geese. First of Year (FOY)
b.. Northern Pintail ? two drakes below the weir (FOY)
c.. Ruddy Duck ? a late scan of the lake turned up two females in the NE corner
d.. Twelve species of duck and three species of goose for 15 species of waterfowl total
e.. Barn Owl ? Matt had one calling on the windmill at 5:30 ? first one there in a very long time
f.. Red-breasted Sapsucker ? one east of the mansion
g.. Bushtit ? more than a half-dozen being very elusive in the willows below the weir. Amazingly FOF
h.. Western Meadowlark ? I think we had 3 total
We also had 5 RIVER OTTERS seen from the Lake Platform in the slough, and our first turtles of the year ? one each of Red-eared Slider and Painted Turtle at the Rowing Club.
The biggest highlight today was the number of species SINGING: Anna?s Hummingbird, Black-capped Chickadee, Marsh Wren, Bewick?s Wren, American Robin, Dark-eyed Junco, Song Sparrow, WESTERN MEADOWLARK, and Red-winged Blackbird. The Great Blue Herons were hanging around actually in the heronry trees (V ? Visiting Nest Site).
Misses today included American Wigeon, Virginia Rail, Cooper?s Hawk, Northern Shrike, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Brown Creeper, Purple Finch, and Pine Siskin.
Despite that long list of misses, we managed 56 species. More than usual were detected by only 1 or 2 people and/or were heard-only, however. Still, not a bad day.

Showing well perched on a 1? high fence at the Rothschild House garden 150 yards South east of the intersection of Franklin and Taylor. Apparently the local photographers have been on it all day! not so much the birders

This beautiful bird is the nearest swan in the flock, right at the corner
of Hwy 203 and 203rd St SE.

Greatly encouraged by the 550+ species and rave reviews for their 15 day trip to Ecuador last year by Messrs Tweit, LaBar, Revelas and Thorp, I am looking into the same full guided trip with the same company.
It would be great (and cheaper) if 2 or 3 others would go as well.? Awesome birds, habitats and lodges.? Not including airfare, the all in price would be around $5000 per person depending on number in group.? The trip and price does not include the Galapagos which could be added on.
If anyone is interested please contact me directly.? Thanks.

Just seen at the Starbucks by Kenmore Lanes. Look for the congregation of gulls.

Hey tweets,
Just passing along a comment from Ruben Stoll that I was asked to share
here:
(Keep in mind that this was around 8:00am and it sounds like the swan is
back in it?s usual location as of 9ish)
?There are no swans present at dawn this morning. There is, however, a
farmer who says he doesn?t want to see any vehicles parked anywhere off the
road on his property today at all. There really isn?t a shoulder along this
road so folks have been pulling over at road entrances and grassy shoulders
where it?s now quickly turning to mud. He also says there won?t be any
swans around here for very long, he?s going to see to that. He says they?re
nothing but a nuisance under the best of circumstances. We tried our best
to work out some kind of an agreement but last I heard he?s still getting
rid of the swans. Sorry folks. We?re just gonna drive these roads for now
and see what we can figure out. It?s possible that the swans have already
been disturbed and relocated.?
Good birding, Alex Sowers

This is yet another reason I don't chase birds.
Others on the list can articulate it much better than I, but it's too hard to manage this kind of thing, so I figure it's best for me to simply not contribute to the problem. It's great to celebrate the discovery/observation of any wayward species, but the myriad issues related to how we do that more than outweigh any value the experience delivers, at least to me.
