Another question: "What were you doing inthe NOAA parking lot at 0645?"

This may be a good sign, and not just of a hard winter. We used to have at
least one N. Harrier and a Short Eared Owl using NOAA and Magnuson Park
during the winter. That stopped about 4 yrs ago, possibly as people and
dog traffic increased in the area. Mowing the grass south of the parking
lots might making mousing and voling a lot easier, too.
