The gray phased Gyrfalcon was back at his/her normal tree on the Old Snohomish-Monroe Rd. in the field with the swans in it not far
out of Snohomish around 3:30pm. I did not locate the White-fronted Geese that others had seen there.

The Swamp Sparrow is still hanging out at the Snohomish sewer treatment plant. Go right along the outside of the chain link fence,
continue along the pond. At the far end there is 2 Lincoln Sparrows, lots of Song Sparrows, and the Swamp Sparrow. No call notes
were heard, but wasn't too hard to dig it out. It flew across the path back into some blackberries, but with pishing it came out
following the Song Sparrows. Also 3 Hairy and 1 Downy Woodpeckers were in the area.
