I finally got to Spencer Island near the Everett water treatment area.
Lovely spot. [The bridge is out on the lower loop so it's two spur
trails instead.]

Highlights include:

2 black-headed grosbeaks
1 greater yellowlegs
5 cedar waxwings
3 osprey, incl. 2 on the nest. (couldn't see any little ones)
Golfinches, yellowthroat, yellow warbler, yellow-rumped warbler (Myrtle)
Cliff, barn, violet-green and tree swallows (100s swarming at the
bridge)
Bald eagle
Female harrier
Peregrine falcon chasing a flock of starlings, not quite successfully
Red-tailed hawk
California quail (with audible but not visible little ones)
Blue-winged teal pair
buffleheads
Hairy woodpecker
kingfisher
Savannha, song and white-crowned sparrows
Brown-headed cowbirds
Bushtits (1 herd)


And a couple seals.
