Hello Tweeters,

Yesterday morning as I walked to Lowman Beach in West Seattle, I had the surprising pleasure of encountering at close range, within 30-40 minutes, before I ever got near the beach:

I?d had a tough morning, but those sightings brightened it right up! (Photos at flickr.com/photos/trileigh if the links don?t work.)

Good birding to you,
Trileigh
