Lovely morning biking along the Duwamish River Sunday morning. Of note:

* Watched a crow kill a juvenile starling for brunch

* Saw an unidentified flycatcher. Did not observe any tail flicking. Any thoughts re ID?

Also, sea lion lolling about in sun; ospreys and bald eagles being chased by crows and terns; very wriggly bushtit nest in willow tree; about a half-dozen Cedar Waxwings, one of which was elongating its body in a sort of bobbing-dancing motion, with erect crest--I assume courtship activity. Pls let me know if I'm wrong.

Thanks!
