The very first thing I heard when I went outside here on the waterfront in Olympia yesterday morning was See-Me-Pretty-Pretty-Me and I knew Spring had arrived. ?There were two White Crowns singing here and another two at the settling ponds on Hogum Bay Rd in Lacey. ?And no we don't see White Crowns in the winter downtown nor do we see Golden Crowns although they are plentiful at Nisqually. ?

Mama Eagle sitting her nest at the settling ponds is a wonderful sight and would be a great picture of you have a long lens. ?We see lots of perched and flying Eagles but not so many nest sitting pictures. ?Since she is in full view, the hoped for forthcoming Eaglets will make for some good pictures as well. ?She's been sitting about two weeks now. ?I believe we have a month or so to go. ?

I'm not certain whether they migrate, but I can testify that we don't
see them here in the winter and, usually, not until later in the spring,
but there was one here yesterday.? I doubted my eyes at first, but
fortunately she hung around long enough for me to verify it.
