Report for June 5, 2008

I left for the WOS Conference right after Marymoor, and so never did one of my regular write-ups.  Now I can't really remember things like the weather very well.  It was overcast, I remember that.

Highlights:

Wood Duck                      At least 3 clutches of ducklings
Cooper's Hawk                 Male seen heading back towards nest with food
Black Swift                        About 20 seen over the lake area
Orange-crowned Warbler  Rowing Club
Townsend's Warbler         Male just south of Dog Area, singing.  Unusual location.
Western Tanager               As expected this time of year, male singing, female
 

For the day, 62 species. Oh, and we saw a Long-tailed Weasel, and a Coyote cavorting near the park maintenance shop !?!?

Tree Swallow nesting near windmill
This Brown Pelican spent a day on a dock along the northwest shore of Lake Sammamish, on a spot visible from the Marymoor lake platform.
Ollie got a little closer to get this photo, however.  2008-06-01.
