    Ben Franklin wanted the wild turkey (not the one we eat at Thanksgiving!) for the national bird.  This was because eagles would eat already dead animals.  Ben lost!

    Are there any protests taking place in West Seattle today? 

    • WSB February 17, 2025 (9:36 am)

      We haven’t received any announcements. The Postcards4Democracy mailing list mentioned one at noon at the federal building downtown.

      That eagle pic makes me feel like I should be heading down to the federal building.

    What a great photo, Jerry!  And apropos to post (thanks WSB) on President’s Day.

      Yes, we’ve often used Bald Eagle photos in the daily list on national holidays, when available (huge thanks as always to everyone who sends bird – and other – photos) …

    Jerry. we think you are trying to make the national news.  You already have your photos on the local news.  Fantastic photo!
