Today I spent the morning picking up around home to be ready for an open house to show the other residents the renovations completed
recently. Afterthat I went birding for a couple of short stops on my way to Puyallup for Rotary.

First stop was at the Gog-li-hi-ti mitigated wetlands where a Lark Sparrow had been seen yesterday by Michael Charest and Bruce Labar. No such luck today, but tghe common birds were singing and posing nicely.

The same Common Yellowthroat singing. It has a very easily learned ." song, characterized as "witchity-witchity-witchity."

Next stop was at the 56th Street Stormwater facility where no shorebirds except Killdeer were present, but the Cinnamon Teal Anas discors and Blue-winged Teal remained.

The open house went nicely, and I'm watchin the Mariners vs. Texas Rangers (M's lead 3-1) and NBA Finals game as I write this post.

Good birding. Steem on!

the yellow throat is beautiful. I really must start photographing birds rather than try using my phone!! Check out my bird post from today - not my photos, but you might appreciate the birds that are in my garden :) xxx

Great, now the "witchie witchie witchie" song will be stuck in my head forever. Thanks for that.

They seem so beautiful. Amazing how you caught those pictures without making them scare and fly away. You must have had a lot of careful.

Actually the Song Sparrow is very obliging, sitting up and singing so easily photographed. The Common Yellowthroat is tougher. Thanks.

Burung ini sering sekali dijumpai di area persawahan dan sering memakan padi yang masih mudah, burung ini susah diusir dan biasanya datang dalam jumlah yang besar tapi terlepas dari semua itu 🐦 burung ini tetaplah indah dilihat😀

Some really stunning bird shots - here is one I took a while back - thought you might enjoy it :)

Capture bird photos, it's the hardest thing in the world, they get scared too easy. Every time I see photos of birds in this way, they deserve a round of applause, because you certainly had enormous patience

What a great photo you got ! Well captured.
