In a single one-hundred yard stretch of Swan Slough Road (along the
Snohomish River between Snohomish and Everett; the whole road is only
about a quarter mile) my wife and I saw a pair of Mountain Bluebirds, a
Meadowlark, and an immature Northern Shrike. The usual ducks and eagles
were also in the area, and a single swallow, which looked (at 40mph) like
a Violet-green, but could have been a Tree.

Good birding,
