I sent this out yesterday but I got the Tweeters address wrong due to a slip
of the finger on the keyboard. So here it is again, a day late and a dollar
sorry.

Subject: Osprey at Edmonds Waterfront

I went down to the waterfront at 4:30 this afternoon to check on the Purple
Martin Gourds. No sign of activity yet but on top of the outermost piling
on which one gourd hangs, an Osprey was perched. This is the first time I
have seen one in the downtown Edmonds area so it was exciting. I understand
from a friend who works for the Parks & Recreation Department that the
Edmonds beach rangers were seeing one from time to time last summer. We may
have to think about erecting a nesting platform somewhere.
