Gene:



Interesting data!? I was particularly interested in the sightings in the Ravenna Park area, including 15th NE and the UW campus.?



A neighbor of mine, and UW faculty member, lived on 17th NE just south of Ravenna Park.? Her pet magpie, Thor, ?terrorized the neighbors during the seventies.? Apparently, it could tell time because i t would dive bomb me?every?day ?when leaving and returning from work.? When Thor moved on....not at my hand, honest...I breathed a sigh of relief.? If they are anything like Thor I hope the crows and jays chase them all the way back to E.WA!
