I did indeed. I don't know how the Green River slipped out. If anyone
who is not familiar with the locks would like more information, you can
visit their web site at:
http://www.nps.usace.army.mil/opdiv/lwsc/lakewsc.htm Sorry, no birds
mentioned there, just an overview of the locks.

I was also going to mention that the combination Christmas ornaments/bird
feeders are up on Market Street trees in Ballard. Shocks of wheat or some
grain tied with a red ribbon. The sparrows love 'em!
