West Seattle wildlife: Bird alert

1:39 PM: Just got this text:

Flock of big white swans (tundra?) swimming off Arroyos heading north. Big white with long black bills, very beautiful, local birders will want to see them. I am at Seola Beach so they already passed us – couldn’t get a picture, they are majestic, someone should try for a good photo from maybe Brace Point if they get up that far.

We’re going to go look, though, given our odds with orcas, that’s no guarantee.

2:35 PM: Struck out on the bird search, too. We went down to a viewpoint near Brace Point – no unusual birds in view. A little choppy with the wind out of the north, too. But a beautiful afternoon to visit the beach anyway!

    I saw them flying south over the Alki ballpark. They were beautiful!

    Boy do I wish I’d seen them! Hoping they’ll still be around today. Please do post if anyone sees them – pictures would be great!
