Lakeside Work Party on a Beautiful Early Fall Day

On Sept 26, the people in these pictures spent a beautiful morning helping us. They planted 30 really big shrubs. They hauled about 500 lbs of water up from the lake to water the plants. They cleared 500 sq ft of blackberry and other invasive plants. They hauled the pulled invasive plants 200 yards to our big pile. They are pictured here next to Lake Washington, looking at an awesome view of Mt Rainier.

 

 

 

Cooper’s Hawks in Madrona Woods and Seattle

Madrona Woods has been home to a successful nesting pair of Cooper’s hawks for several years. They have fledged 5 young. They nest in the ravine above the haipin turn, where there are no trails. It turns out that there are lots of these hawks nesting in Seattle. See this report for details.
