Hi Tweets,
I thought of giving my observation report. Well, I did this twice
(4/17,4/18), but not much luck. Within 1 hour I saw only two birds passing
in front of moon. Then I saw one very very huge bird, but then I realized it
was a 'Boeing Bird'! I observed this from West Seattle Junction. Other than
this one Coyote did showed up there!
Can any one give me some info as to what is the best time to observe this ?
