The Everett count, enjoying super weather on Saturday, had a high species
count of right near 133 species--its highest ever, and a few parties are
still left to report. I covered the low ground near the Everett STP,
focusing specifically on sparrows and other skulking passerines. I left a
Birdbox message, but here are more details:
