It was nice to finally get a good look at a species that I've only seen very distantly or very poorly before that.

They were not visible from the park itself, but were visible from a pullout along Old Snohomish-Monroe Rd just south of 144st SE (GPS coordinates: 47.86409,-122.033034). It's a nice big pullout with plenty of room to set up a spotting scope and scan the fields below. Those fields also held at least 7 Red-Tailed Hawks as well as a few Harriers and Bald Eagles. About a month ago there were a couple Short-Eared Owls there as well, hunting at dusk.
