Tweets - this one was ridiculously easy, as soon as I found McCormick Park.
The GREAT EGRET was fishing in the pond just east of the Snoqualmie Valley
Trail, only a hundred yards south of McCormick Park in Duvall.

This is a really nice spot. Other sightings in the hour I was there
included nesting TREE SWALLOWS, a RED-BREASTED SAPSUCKER, a large flock of
mixed Audubon's and Myrtle's YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS, a HAIRY WOODPECKER,
several HOODED MERGANSERS, and a family of VIRGINIA RAIL (adult and 3 black
babies). I had about 30 species in all at the site. There was also a
shorebird flying out - either a SOLITARY SANDPIPER OR LESSER YELLOWLEGS.

McCormick Park is 1 block west of the main drag through Duvall, about 1
block south of the Woodinville-Duvall Rd. It shares a parking lot with the
police station.
