Thanks for all the info. I don't think there will be much in the way of birds but I will be looking....

> Seven birders were on an Eastside Audubon field trip to North Creek Park in Snohomish Co. this morning. The park is a boardwalk thru wetlands located on 183rd St. west of hwy 527 and between Bothell and Mill Creek. We saw a lot of the usual birds we expected to see. The one surprise was a Zebra Finch. They are quite pretty and is a popular cage bird that must have escaped. It was fairly tame and would let you get quite close. We came across it twice on our walk. If anyone is missing this bird, it should be fairly easy to capture. I was able to get a number of photos of the bird. It was seen near the end of the spur that goes west toward North Creek and also just north of the intersection of this spur and the main boardwalk.
