Do Cooper’s Hawks ever reflect on what might have been? Do they live totally in the moment? Do they abandon bad relationships? See what you think on:

Union Bay Watch

Lets all work together to make sure Black Birders know they are always welcome in the Union Bay neighborhood.

Union Bay Watch } It Takes A Village

October 7, 2017 by Larry Hubbell Leave a Comment

If you have been spending time on Union Bay lately you may have noticed some large wooden boxes appearing at the water’s edge. This is not exactly an attempt to lower the average cost of housing in Seattle.

It is an attempt to provide nest sites for one of our more colorful and unique ducks. Learn more in this week’s post:

Have a great day on Union Bay…where nature lives in the city!

A Hawk In The City

March 12, 2016 by Larry Hubbell Leave a Comment

EB2R0698

This week’s post covers one of our Montlake neighbors. Last year he and his mate fed and raised young in the Arboretum. You may have seen him as he raided your bird feeder – although he would not have been searching for seeds. Learn the rest of his story on:

Have a great day on Union Bay…where hawks live in the city!
