Hi Penny and Tweeters,

Interesting timing for the Magpie sighting in Discovery Park. I believe the history of the current Seattle-area Magpie sightings is then:

Thurs Jan 7 - Fri Jan 8: seen off and on, all within several blocks of 63rd and Alki.
Sat Jan 9 morning: not reported
Sat Jan 9 2 pm: seen at Alki
Sat Jan 9 3:15 pm: seen in Discovery Park, about 6 miles to the N, over water
Sun Jan 10 morning: not seen at Alki by me and others
Sun Jan 10 (time?): seen by Kathy Andrich at S Horton St and Marginal Way, about 7 miles SE from Discovery Park along the shoreline

So it seems that the Magpie, if just one, suddenly decided to start wandering on Saturday afternoon. I hope people will report where it turns up next!
