Well, so far everything has been going smoothly and been fairly enjoyable out in Seattle, although I miss all the family and friends. Last Sunday, after visiting a church in Federal Way, I stopped at a park for lunch and took a couple of photos of the birds there:
This is one of several Wilson's Warblers that were flitting around. There aren't quite as many warblers out west, but it's nice to have a few species at least.
This American Robin is a little more commonly seen though.
Next I drove up north of the city to feed cats for the other student from our lab that's working out at Boeing. (He was at a conference in Boston for the week) While I was up north, I stopped at a small park with a good overlook of the Seattle skyline.
The Space Needle is the most unique feature of the skyline. It isn't quite as tall compared to the other buildings as these pictures make it seem, as the center of the city is a bit further south than the Space Needle.
Mount Ranier is the other feature that always grabs your attention. It really catches you by surprise if you're not used to seeing a HUGE mountain looming over the landscape. The peak is somewhere around 14,000 feet and Seattle is at sea level!
