Hi Tweets -
This weekend while out birding, I caught a snippet of the end of this interview on KUOW -- This morning I remembered to look it up. KUOW's weekend program "KUOW Presents" aired a nearly 20 minute interview w/ Connie Sidles while at the Montlake Fill. Definitely worth a listen to hear one of 'our own' - Here's the link:

[if that doesn't work, just search for 'birds' on KUOW.org]

Synop:
Lessons from the Birds

05/02/2009
Birdwatchers consider the Union Bay Natural Area one of the best birdwatching sites in Seattle. But for more than 40 years, the place was a garbage dump. Now, the former landfill now has ponds, meadows and woodland areas that attract over 250 species of birds. People used to call the area Garbage Bay and birders mostly call it the Montlake Fill. Writer Connie Sidles has been coming to the Fill almost every morning for 20 years. KUOW's Jeannie Yandel walked around the Fill with Connie to find out what she's learned about life from the wildlife there.


Go Connie!
