Signals Crossed

ps: If you happen to spot the Pileated Woodpeckers anywhere around Montlake, during the next couple of weeks, I would certainly love a high-speed email at:

Thank you! It feels like they have been playing hard to get this year.

Burning With Fire

June 3, 2017 by Larry Hubbell Leave a Comment

Even though this post is titled ‘Burning With Fire’ and it is primarily about crows it is NOT about crows learning to cook with fire. Take a look for yourself to see the variety of items a crow will consume. See more at:

Dreams of Spring

February 13, 2016 by Larry Hubbell Leave a Comment

EB2R0396It is impossible to know what a heron dreams. It might be frogs and fish or it could be wishing for the warmer weather and sunshine of Spring. The dreams and signs of Spring are all around us. Bundle up and step outside to see them or if you are pressed for time just visit:

Have a great day on Union Bay…where dreams of Spring are in the air!
