Yes, I had my first hearing of Band-tailed Pigeons yesterday morning here in West Seattle! Always a joy to know they’re out there, even when I can’t lay eyes on them.</div>

By the way, my Anna’s Hummingbird is still on eggs, no sign of hatchlings yet. I’m seeing lots of photos posted by others of ANHU babies getting fed. Is my little mama behind the curve, or are others still seeing active nests with no hatchlings?</div>

I was surprised to see are freshly returned Band-tailed pigeon on my back deck a few minutes ago. It was right on time as they usually return the first week in March. It was with a small group of Mourning Doves feeding on sunflower seeds. </div>

I was pleasantly surprised on Monday to see a Kestrel on powerlines along Hwy 3 by the Bremerton Airport in the early afternoon. I haven't seen a kestrel in that area in several years now. About a half-mile away was a resident red-tailed hawk that I see fairly
regularly around the airport. Last fall I had the joy of watching it soar about 20 above the runway for several hundred fee which caused a small incoming aircraft to detour and come around. Nice to know at least at Bremerton airport birds sometimes do have
the right-of-way.</div>
