For anyone interested I will be leading the following nature programs
through the Seattle Parks Department from this wekend through the end of
September, mostly at Seward Park, all appropriate for families and people of
all ages. For you owl fans, we did see and hear one juvenile Barred Owl on
the last walk I led at Seward. It responded to my hoots by begging for food
with hissing, but the parents were missing.
