Got to Spencer Island (Just East of I-5 and the sewage Lagoons of Everett) at
5 pm and Beth Lynch and I hiked around the north loop till sunset, which is
getting earlier lately. There were lots of Robins, Waxwings, Yellow Rumped
Warblers and Barn Swallows.
Our list in the order of memory:

Common Snipe
American Robin
Cedar Waxwing
Purple Finch
Barn Swallow
Ruddy Duck
Shoveler
Wigeon
Coot
Mallard
Black Capped Chickadee
Bewick's Wren
Yellow Rumped Warbler
Nashville Warbler
Yellowthroat
Bushtit
Downy Woodpecker
European Starling
Song Sparrow
Spotted Towhee
American Goldfinch
Long Billed Dowitcher (flock of 15 or so vocalizing)
Gadwall
Great Blue Heron
Osprey
Sharp Shinned Hawk
Merlin
Northern Harrier
Red Tailed Hawk
Belted Kingfisher
Crow
Golden Crowned Sparrow
House Finch
White Crowned Sparrow
Bonapartes Gull
Mew Gull
Glaucous Winged Gull
Savannah Sparrow
An overfed Sharpy being harassed by Barn Swallows, then a low male Osprey
headed south, followed by a close and noisy Kingfisher and a fast Merlin all
in quick succession kind of made for a tweeters moment for us. That's all.
