<DIV>Tweets – We had thin overcast today for most of the morning, but generally
pretty nice weather. No rain, and not too cold nor windy.
Surprisingly, there were only seven birders in our group today.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<UL>
<LI>Cinnamon Teal – one at new ponds at the Rowing Club

Meadow – First of Year (<STRONG>FOY</STRONG>) yesterday
<LI>WESTERN KINGBIRD – one in the East Meadow (<STRONG>FOY</STRONG>)
<LI>Northern Rough-winged Swallow – two in the East Meadow

nor Eastern Kingbird, both seen yesterday.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Stunningly this is the <STRONG>9th</STRONG> <STRONG>year</STRONG> that
ASH-THROATED FLYCATCHER has been seen at Marymoor. There are June reports
from 2005, 2006, 2007, 2010, 2017, 2019, 2021, and now 2022, plus a late July
sighting from 2011.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Besides GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLET, we also saw juveniles of CANADA GOOSE, WOOD
DUCK, MALLARD, RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRD, GREAT BLUE HERON (though none fledged yet),
EUROPEAN STARLING, AMERICAN ROBIN, DARK-EYED JUNCO, and probably of chickadees
and Bushtit.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We had quite a few misses today: Rock Pigeon, Vaux’s Swift (again),
Spotted Sandpiper (Matt may have glimpsed one), Glaucous-winged Gull, Green
Heron, Belted Kingfisher, Barn Swallow, Cliff Swallow, Brown Creeper, and
Wilson’s Warbler.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Still, for the day we managed 57 species.</DIV>
