Valarie says: the Montlaker and the Union Bay Watch do a wonderful job of highlighting wildlife in northeast Seattle. I am a follower of these blogs and want to share them with the readers of Wedgwood in Seattle History.

thanks Valarie! And at first I thought there were 520 bald eagles :=). I saw one of them perched on one of the light poles the other day, lazily waiting for lunch to be served!
I guess “520 eagles” is Montlake-speak! They are so used to “The 520” which is the freeway and the floating bridge, that it is like a familiar street name to them. But the wonderful news is that the eagles are urban-adapted and we can enjoy watching them. What a treat that you got to see one eagle doing its Light Pole Lazy Lurking for Lunch.
Yeah, I used to commute across 520, so I remember the eagles. I also remember watching huge flocks of crows fly into the Arboretum at sunset to roost for the night. Thousands of them.
