Hi tweets,

Interestingly enough, I was on my way to the Edmonds
waterfront also on Friday afternoon, and I had a
Morning Dove sitting on a wire at this very same
intersection! Granted, the magpie is a much better
bird for this spot, but I certainly would not have
expected either, let alone both. Seems a little
coincidental? Maybe the weather can explain it? Who
knows.
