A bird, some mountains, and a drawing of a bird

That's what you put up for a title when you can't think of a post title.

First up, the Cinnamon Teals have returned from their wanderings to hang out at the Montlake Fill:

Always a favorite, with that lovely color.  Connie and I also spied our first Orange-crowned Warbler of the year there, flitting about with the Yellow-rumped Warbler crowd.  Most of the wintering waterfowl have flown away, and to help make up for their loss, more and more swallows arrive every day.  We've had Violet-green and Tree Swallows but are still waiting for the first Barn, so keep an eye out!

Next, "some mountains" are a view of the Olympics that I got this past weekend from Carkeek Park:

What a fabulous place I live in, where these sorts of things are just hanging out in my city's backyard.

And lastly, more art!  Last night I decided to try drawing in pencil for a change, and chose a juvenile Ruff that I snapped a pic of last autumn up in the Skagit.  I just finished it this morning:

And now I'd better get ready for work....yay....
