Why is someone at The Hutch working on sticklebacks…?
If anyone wants to go birding in Seattle, apparently Montlake Fill is the place to go. If you can get GrrlScientist over, she’d be more than happy to take you round.
A dump? Is it not curious that the best birding spots all around the world are either garbage dumps or other ruderate areas – usually the worse, the better the birds.
