I had a Band-tailed pigeon land on my chimney cap today. First one I have
ever seen here. I am in between Fall City and Issaquah. Beautiful bird!
Here's a picture of the one that was here:

I saw a smallish flock of about eight birds clustered together in an alder
tree a bit inland from the bluff, above the "model airplane field". I've
never seen them in Carkeek before. Is this unusual?

There's also a raucous flock of about a hundred pine siskins rioting about
along the South Bluff trail. Been in the same spot the last two times I've
walked that trail last week and today. Good to see the population doing so
well.
