We had a record of 61 young peregrines survive to fly from their nest.

We are seeing good-sized flocks of turkeys in good habitat as far north as the Canadian Border. Having the hunting season open statewide is a great achievement, especially considering that this bird is on the northern fringe of its range in North America. There is plenty of room with a statewide season for hunters to locate good hunting areas.

As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: / So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.

We humans live in one nest and the earth is our nest our home.

Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.

I think the slow draining in the Sammamish watershed had everything to do with the record rainfall we saw in those weeks.
