[Tweeters] Edmonds Roundup - November 2024

[Carol Riddell via Tweeters]

Hi Tweeters,

With November additions we have reached 195 species for our Edmonds 2024 list. In taxonomic order, the new species are:

Ruddy Duck (code 3): 4 in the Edmonds section of Lake Ballinger, 11-24-24.

Cassin’s Auklet (code 4): at the waterfront (critical field marks described), 11-5-24.

Leach’s Storm-Petrel (code 5): 1 at waterfront, 11-5-2024.

Lesser Goldfinch (code 5): 1 at feeders on Puget Drive (photo ID), 11-21 and 11-27-2024. (This is a new species for Edmonds, the 283rd that we have confirmed in the city.)


Of Interest: We added Swamp Sparrow (code 5) to the 2024 list last February, based on an eBird-confirmed sighting. There was a second Swamp Sparrow at Edmonds marsh 11-1-24, both seen and heard.

As always, I appreciate it when birders get in touch with me to share sightings, photos, or recordings. It helps us build our collective year list. If you would like a copy of our 2024 city checklist, with 281 species, please request it from checklistedmonds at gmail dot com. The 2024 checklist, with sightings through November, is in the bird information box at the Olympic Beach Visitor Station at the base of the public pier.

Season’s Greetings and Good birding,
