WEST SEATTLE BIRDS: 8 from land and sea

Seahawks Sunday often means WSB bird-gallery day … so here we go!

Feathered formation! James Tilley photographed that trio of Harlequin Ducks on Christmas Day in the Alki vicinity. Also in that area, here’s a Bald Eagle, from Gary Jones:

Vince Marx shares an uncommon sighting – a Rock Sandpiper, photographed at Seacrest:

This weekend’s rain slicked back the usually spiky crown on this Steller’s Jay, photographed by Jerry Simmons:

Robin Sinner caught a Red-breasted Nuthatch just hanging out:

A splash of color from Mark Wangerin‘s view of a Townsend’s Warbler:

Here’s a Brown Creeper at Lincoln Park, spotted by Mark MacDonald:

And from Mike Burns, a hummingbird:

    When my husband and I are out about on nature walks we often say, “What is that?” Posts like this help a lot. It makes our walks more meaningful.
