I did feel bad for the catfish. I'd just never seen a Great Blue Heron swallow this large of a fish whole (catfish was dead).

Photographed at Union Bay Natural Area in Seattle.

Caught this Tree Swallow (Tachycineta bicolor) preening against an overcast backdrop at Union Bay Natural Area. The swallow was totally undisturbed by a few birdwatchers standing below its perch. The birders were glassing for other birds on the pond, not really noticing the swallow.

Shot with an Olympus OM-D E-M5 (micro four thirds) + Lumix 100-300mm

Dusk at the new, unfinished Seattle Wheel at Pier 57 on the Elliott Bay waterfront.

We assumed a good samaritan posted these keys on the fence for a cyclist or park user who lost them. In case they're yours, they were posted on the fence near the granary and bike trail at Elliott Bay Park.

A Starling parent brings a worm to babies huddled in a nest underneath the corrugated covering. There are several nests in this area.

See photos the growing nestlings below. I wasn't close to the nest -- was standing way below a tall structure where the Starlings have what amounts to almost a colony of nests under this roof. Shot at 600mm equivalent and cropped.
