Thanks to everyone for the continued contributions of West Seattle bird photos! That’s an Osprey above, Pacific-slope Flycatcher below, both photographed by Mark Wangerin:

In the big group below are Surf Scoters, photographed by James Tilley:

The next two photos are by Mark MacDonald – first, Sanderlings:

Next, a Horned Grebe:

You’ll of course recognize the Bald Eagle, photographed by Raul Baron:

Hans A. sent the photo of American Goldfinches (our state bird):

And adorable baby waterfowl by Jim Clark:

P.S. Seems birdwatching is booming these days.

  Looking at this made me laugh out loud! First time since this “new normal” began.

Wondered why the osprey was carrying such large twigs so looked up what their nest looks like. Now I know!

Does the eagle have some kind of line caught on its talon?

  It looks to be a strand of seaweed.

I love our wildlife, thanks for the photos! Good question, has anyone seen the West Seattle Turkey in a while?

  Last seen in Tukwila/Renton about two weeks ago – at least that’s the last sighting called to our attention. Most folks down that way wouldn’t know to let us know, so I hope she’s still doing OK in her southern travels.

Sorry, comment time is over.
