This afternoon around 2 p.m. we added a new species to the Maple Leaf Reservoir Park bird list. 
(Note: It’s black and white, not blue and green.)
A pair of bald eagles were soaring over the water tower.
And on the tower itself, a peregrine falcon that had been hanging around at least since 10:40 this morning.
Seattle Audubon shop in Wedgwood sells window decals to prevent bird strikes. They are practically invisible to people eyes, but highly visible to birds.
I’ve enjoyed a front row view over the reservoir now park for many years and watching birds has been a great part of the vista. There are several nesting pairs of bald eagles that return every spring and summer. I see them frequently when they fly between Lake Washington and Green Lake/Woodland Park nesting sites, escorted by a cacophony of crows.
A peregrine falcon flew into my living room window last month. He was not hurt, lost a few feathers, but still hangs around my feeders.
