February: Stirrings in the Flock
While the Black-throated and other warblers are preparing for their spring migration, resident Pacific Northwest birds are often foraging in mixed flocks in a pattern of cooperative feeding. This behavior helps all the birds in the flock locate suitable prey and provides protection from predators. Larger birds and especially birds of prey will be nesting while tropical birds are preparing for migration.

2024 Marymoor Park Recap and Goals
In 2024, the monthly Marymoor habitat restoration workparty had 237 volunteers. We planted 131 native shrubs and trees, including bigleaf maples, Garry oaks, Oregon grapes, Nootka roses, and Western red cedars. We spread almost 70 cubic yards of mulch and removed over 50 cubic yards of invasive species like common hawthorn, Himalayan blackberry, and reed canary grass.
