Hey tweets, yesterday my husband John and I were tooling down the waterfront, gawking at the new parks, when we came upon a driveway with access to the shore: Jack Perry Memorial Park. We drove to the end and looked around for birds, of which there was a notable dearth. We resolved not to leave until we saw at least one bird, even a crow. Lo and behold, an Osprey came winging down the channel, its wings white against the blue sky. What a sight.

I note that BirdWeb says Ospreys are uncommon in the Puget Trough in October - I was surprised both by the bird and BirdWeb. I thought the Ospreys would be all gone by now. Perhaps this one was a transient from the far north. - Connie, Seattle
