Quick newsflash: Tina Blade and I were at Marymoor this morning and
saw two bobcats in a tree. Walking from the parking lot by the
compost piles, through the East Meadow, over the little footbridge,
through mosquito haven, just a couple of yards before the long
boardwalk, there's a large tree on the left. Initially I saw the
silhouette of one bobcat lying on a more-or-less horizontal branch
that grew out toward me. Walking to the other side of the trunk for
better light, I saw a second, much more visible bobcat close to the
trunk of the tree. They were interested in us but intent on remaining
in their sunny perches. Their legs were wet, so I suspect they had
been hunting in the marsh and were taking time to dry out. It was
about 10:30/11. I got a couple of good photos which are posted here:

Also spotted was a Northern Shrike in the the Eastern Meadow.
