Subject: [Tweeters] Phinney mixed flock
This morning a nice sized mixed flock foraged in the back between several yards. Flycatchers, yellow and orange crowned warblers, warbling vireos and tanagers. Possibly yellow rumped but I didn’t see or hear it.
Again Merlin picked up evening grosbeaks and I may have observed 3 flying out from conifers but lighting was not conducive to id so went off size and shape. Has anyone observed these in Phinney area of Seattle. The recording was faint so not confident. But Merlin keeps picking this one up.
Haven’t id’d the large headed flycatcher yet but it is not a willow or western. Might send a link to photos if anyone wants to assist with id.
