Happening tonight: 2 councils, plus your Park Levy $ ideas

Here’s hoping you feel more like the osprey in Alkimac‘s photo today than the crow – unless you prefer to be the scrappy outsider! Anyway, once your great Wednesday is in the books, here are tonight’s highlights for how to make a difference in your neighborhood (and beyond):

NORTH DELRIDGE NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL: 6:30 pm, Delridge Library. Discussion is certain to include the big Delridge Community Center playground breakthrough reported here earlier this week.

SOUTHWEST DISTRICT COUNCIL: 7 pm, South Seattle Community College board room. Agenda includes a presentation on the changes ahead (reported here three weeks ago) in the Restricted Parking Zone program (here’s the city’s official page).

PARK LEVY $ AND HOW YOU THINK IT SHOULD BE SPENT: 7 pm, West Seattle Golf Course. Not all of the money in last fall’s Parks and Green Spaces Levy was earmarked for certain projects, so the city’s going into neighborhoods to talk about the possibilities (as well as the already-set projects).

    AWESOME photo, alkimac!! i was surprised to see how many osprey there seem to be in the area. i don’t remember seeing them at all 20 years ago. but now, i kayaked up the duwamish and they have some huge nests in the light fixtures of the industrial areas near kellog island. very cool!

    Saw a mature Bald fly over the gully at 35th and 108th early this morning.

    Hi Buddsmom!!!

    Great photo Alkimac!

    That’s a pretty big fish (compared to the Crow)

    Hi Alkimac! Are you who I think you are?

  • d May 6, 2009 (4:10 pm)

    Is that a salmon or some other?

  • WSB May 6, 2009 (4:47 pm)

    Alkimac described it as osprey with salmon, chased by crow … TR

  • d May 6, 2009 (4:58 pm)

    Thought probably so, but just double-checkin’ with the WSB wildlife crew for confirmation :].

    thanks TR

    Wow, what a great photo. Any chance of it being made available somewhere at a higher resolution? Does Alkimac have a web page or something?

  • Wednesday May 6, 2009 (5:15 pm)

    Indeed, but not Alkimac

  • AlkiMac May 6, 2009 (7:05 pm)

    Thanks for all the kind comments, everyone!

    Here’s a link to a higher resolution image:

    I snapped this photo from my front yard on Alki Point. It was amazing to see the crows trying to steal the salmon from the osprey.

    Cheers!

    Here’s hoping you don’t feel like the salmon!
