Prior to my trip out west, I noted a few birds I really wanted to see including a Lazuli Bunting and a Red-Breasted Sapsucker. I scored both yesterday morning due to taking the Audubon Birding Walk at Marymoor Park. The locals wanted to help me, and I quickly learned my desired bunting was known as “Laz”.

The weather swung back and forth between clouds, minor rain, and bright sun … apparently quite normal for the Seattle area. Next on the agenda are mountain birds at Leavenworth.
