I had been in areas over the last week where I might have heard or seen an early Willow Flycatcher, but today went on the riverside trail off the end of 178th Street in Orting, and heard at least 8 calling both in the fields and near the river.
The Lazuli Buntings are in also, and Western Wood-pewees, Warbling Vireos, and af nice nixture of warblers were the stars, but no Red-eyed vireo yet. Overcast, cool and off and a light drizzle continued the whole time.
