It's been a quiet May...

Very little to report. I've seen Ernest a couple of times recently, always sitting atop the light standard on the Bridge. The other blogger following the eagles reports that Ethel is definitely sitting on an egg or eggs, and by now she may yet again be a mother. I will bring everyone up to date when I hear more. The construction on the 520 Bridge just keeps ramping up, yet it never seems to throw our eagle friends for a loop. I guess if you are complacent enough to sit atop a freeway Bridge year in and year out with tens of thousands of cars whizzing by daily a few construction cranes are not going to be an issue. At least they are replacing this bridge before it falls into the drink like the one up the way, the Interstate 5 Bridge over the Skagit River, did last week. Just WOW. What a shock. The Skagit River, by the way, is where there are vast numbers of bald eagles. In fact that is believed to be where Ethel went to find Ernest after her beloved Eddie met up with the windshield of the metro bus, RIP Eddie. Spring here has been mainly lovely. There has, however, been a little downturn lately. But we are looking forward to better weather to return by the end of the week. The birds begin chirping now before 4 am every morning and continue until close to 10 pm. These are the long, lovely days of summer here. Wish it would never end.....
