[Tweeters] Cedar River Mouth (Renton) today

[houstojc at plu.edu]

Fabulous photos and videos, Marv!     So many Marv touches to those videos.  Truly feel like I was just there.  Love the semi with the Franklin’s.  Great coverage of the Baird’s, too…and the TWO Franklins!   I have a feeling that you might be over there at M Street again this a.m. !    Also, I really enjoyed the juvie SB Gull.   

 

Deck construction work starting as planned, since air is clearing out this a.m.    It will be good to have it repaired and stained/painted.  Glad the fellow who did the downstairs room is able to do it for us!   He is a gem.  

 

Six Band-tailed pigeons trying to crowd their way on to the feeder……We have created quite the spot with lots of plants, flowers, habitat, …..whew.     I may have to escape….. 😊

 

Happy Monday, 

 Janeanne

I arrived at CRM at 7:30 this morning.  At 8 the first FRANKLIN'S GULL flew in from the south with a few other gulls. Later in the morning a second showed up.  A female-type Harlequin Duck remained in the distant driftwood allowing the occasional glimpse.
