Spent most of today sparrowing at Crescent Lake (aka Two Rivers Monroe) in Snohomish County.
The sparrows I saw were:

Spotted Towhee
Savannah Sparrow - 15 or more
Fox Sparrow - sooty - singing
Song Sparrow
Lincoln's Sparrow
White-crowned Sparrow
White-throated Sparrow - 5
Golden-crowned Sparrow
Oregon Dark-eyed Junco
Slate-colored Dark-eyed Junco - 1 adult male
Cassiar's Dark-eyed Junco - 1 adult male

Also at Crescent Lake

Trumpeter Swan - 19
Cooper's Hawk
Virginia Rail (heard)
Western Meadowlark - several
Yellow-headed Blackbird - 1 with flock of red-wings

Then I headed for Snohomish

Merlin - 1 taiga perched high near Currier & Fryelands
Orange-crowned Warbler - 1 where Old Sno/Monroe Hwy crosses French Creek; in brambles at SE corner of bridge
Golden-crowned Sparrow - same loc as above; in alternate plumage unlike all GCSP at Crescent Lake
