Magnuson Park — Sunday, Nov. 3, 2024

Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area

Two of us took our dog to the Magnuson waterfront to see if we could spot any waterfowl. We had 25 species for the morning (from 8-9:10 AFTER setting clocks back an hour) including mergansers, grebes, and a fox sparrow.

Most of the pavement is walkable but some of the trails are quite muddy following recent rains. A lot of people were out with their dogs, all but one on leash. It was a nice overcast morning without any rain. The most surprising sighting was seeing two women without wetsuits standing in the water up to their chest, chatting away. BRRR!
