West Seattle wildlife: Bird-banding beneath The Bridge

After our bird-sighting report yesterday (haven’t solved the mystery yet), Ginny (thank you!!!!) sent us a link to the Urban Peregrines of Western Washington blog — pointing out that its newest entry, just published last night, is all about a banding effort targeting a nest that’s right underneath the West Seattle Bridge. Pictures included too. (This is peregrine-falcon-banding season, according to the previous entry.)

    Thanks for sending this on! For readers interested in peregrine falcons and their recovery in the US – a WS school had a little hand in things – 10 years ago, “naming” one of the eyasses at the very first web cam on a peregrine nest. It’s a long, fabled story… here’s a start: Peregrine Falcon Slideshow

Sorry, comment time is over.
