Live a little over a mile N of Edmonds town and have regularly seen an Osprey "working" the shallows (we're about a block up from the beach), as well as flying over our neighborhood. Day before yesterday, it went by with a med-small fish in its talons, heading WSW, and we'd seen it earlier in the day, also. Indeed, always a treat to watch. Shows how much I [don't] know, I didn't realize they were "seasonal"!
