Hi Tweeters,

The UW urban Cooper's wasn't around this week, a
raptorless week for me. One Redhead is off and on.
Lucky for Megan Lynden who showed up on Thursday
afternoon while I was eating my lunch at Sakuma
Viewpoint he was around and pretty close in. Monday
had a stunning sunrise and through much of the week
many birds were singing. The House Finches and Robins
are particularly nice to listen to.
