Directions and maps to these sites and other habitat restoration sites on
the Duwamish River can be found at:
http://www.pugetsound.org/vshrmp/King/index.html. Also, bus #20, 21, and 135
will also get you within walking distance of T-105, Puget Creek Estuary,
and Herring's House restoration sites. Bus #174 and #132 will take you
within walking distance of Turning Basin, Hamm Creek, and North Wind's Weir.
The later is a new restoration site which will see habitat enhancements in
the next few years.

On the day Brett mentioned, we also saw a Peregrine Falcon on a nest box
underneath the West Seattle Freeway Bridge. This box is just west of the
river, and can be seen from the walkway of the Spokane Street Bridge. Today
(Saturday), a Greater Yellowlegs, and a Dunlin in breeding plumage, were
also seen on the mud flats of Kellogg Island. There were ten Caspian Terns
on the same mud flat.

Happy Earth Day,

For the uninintiated among us could you please give information about the
locations you mentioned along the Duwamish. I know Kellog Island and see
Terminal 105 on the map but don't find either Puget Creek or GSA marsh.
Thanks
