Hi tweets,

Went out to Jack Block Park in West Seattle this morning to see if any Purple Martins were out and about yet. Was rewarded with excellent views of 3 (1 male, 2 female) as they circled over the gourds, disappeared for 3-4 minutes at a time and then came back. They even perched above a couple of the gourds at one point, then got disturbed by some Violet-green Swallows in the area. Still, was able to watch them for about 15 minutes or so.

Also saw a river otter hanging out, and my first 9 Canada Goose goslings of the year.
