| 7/28/26 Puget Sound from Discovery Park |
 |
| The closest I have ever seen a Cooper's hawk! |
Seattle’s largest park and full-on forest in the middle of the city, Discovery Park is an urban gem of hiking trails, open meadows, cliffs and streams. After my unguided wandering of the park a few weeks ago, I invited Nilda to go with me last Tuesday. Much more familiar with the park than I am, she led me to a vista of Puget Sound at the western bluff. Though breezy and partly cloudy, the afternoon was a lovely time to walk, talk and sketch.
Bonus: We spotted a Cooper’s hawk (ID’d by the Merlin app by
its call)! The park is a favorite among birders.
