Ruth, I had the same thing happen to me years ago. A Racoon showed up on
my back porch and scratched at the back door. I hate to sound too
anthropomorphic, but it looked scared. I had three cats inside so I
tried my best to ignore it, the next morning it was dead in the yard.
This was near here, still in Ballard. Animal Control picked it up.

Turtles aren't birds, but since we're off subject anyway, I saw a turtle
at the Ballard Locks this morning in the salt water side. 6 to 8 inches,
squarish, it was floating on the surface until we walked up to it and I
blurted "Look! A turtle!" It dove and followed the steep rock slope
downward. Are turtles common in salt water? I see them every now and then
at Union Bay...
