Hello Tweeters,
In the interests of alerting folks here about rare birds being discussed on other platforms. A probable Plumbeous Vireo was seen today at Meadowbrook Pond in Seattle. First found 11/4 by David Johnson and reported on Facebook with uncertain ID, refound today by Ryan Merrill and seen by a number of birders.
I say probable because this species can be very difficult to separate from dull Cassin's Vireos. This individual appears quite gray with very little or no yellow/green coloration, and does seem likely to be Plumbeous. If accepted, it would be a first for Washington.
Updates are being posted on the King County RBA WhatsApp group. Last sighting that I know of was at about 1:10 pm today in the northwest corner of the park, but the bird has also been seen on the east edge and definitely moves around.
