If you're ever on my bus Maureen (right now I drive a 226 from Bellevue)
I'll even slow down for those special sightings.

I used to drive a 41 across the Ship Canal Bridge and we slowed every
morning to view the Peregrine Falcon occasionally perched on the towers
in the winter. I called it "the Falcon Express". Most of my passengers
tolerated the slowdown; some even appreciated the information about the
falcon.

Good to know there's a fellow birder also watching for something
interesting to appear during the commute.
