Dear Friends
One more voice on Peter Cavanagh’s wonderful book, and an interview from an unusual vantage point you might enjoy. Once a quarter, the surgical journal that I edit interviews someone who is not a surgeon who has skills that we think doctors (and surgeons in particular) should learn more about. I thought that Peter’s skill at patient observation would really help doctors to think differently about how they sit and talk with their patients. You might like it: https://journals.lww.com/clinorthop/fulltext/2025/08000/a_conversation_with___peter_cavanagh_phd,_former.1.aspx.
Enjoy the week’s unseasonably nice weather. The birds around here certainly seem doing be doing so!
Warmest regards,
Seth

I read Dennis's excellent review of the book How Birds Fly by Peter
Cavanagh, and remembered how much fun I had talking with him on the
podcast. If interested here is a link.

Tweeters,
If you have been following my last two posts you know there have been some changes happening among the Bald Eagles near Montlake Cut. Here is my latest update along with a couple quests for 2026.

Hi Tweeters,
The next Joint Base Lewis McChord (JBLM) Eagle's Pride Golf Course (GC) birdwalk is scheduled for Thursday, January 15, at 9:00AM.
The JBLM Eagles Pride GC birders do the tour d'course the third Thursday of every month. We meet at 9:00AM<outlook-data-detector://2> through February 2026. (Change to 8:00AM in March.)
Starting point is the Driving Range Tee, Eagle's Pride Golf Course, I-5 Exit 116, Mounts Road Exit. When you turn into the course entrance, take an immediate left onto the road to the driving range - that's where we meet.
Also, to remind folks that haven't been here before, even though Eagle's Pride is a US Army recreation facility, you don't need any ID to attend these birdwalks. Hope you're able to make it!
Current weather forecast is 45degF-49degF start to finish (RealFeel 40-46) with some fog. As always, dress for success!

For several days there have been 2 females and a conspicuous male redhead at Deer Lagoon (DL), S Whidbey island. They have been hanging out with lesser scaups and ring-necked ducks on the freshwater (right hand) side of the bifurcated dike routes. The other std ducks are there as well? gadwalls, buffleheads, shovelers, pintails, mallards, green wing teals.
On the outer bar with driftwood at the mouth of DL are lots of Dunlin, some sanderlings, Brant, and 100s of surf scoters.

Hi Larry,
A photographer, Lisa Lawrence, has posted on Facebook with apparently a
photo of an eagle with 4 white talons all on the same claw ( I will never
join Facebook so I did not see the actual photo, but I could read the
comments). She posits that even one white talon is evidence of leucism,
although other researchers have suggested that an injury could cause either
a temporary or permanent white talon.
best,
Ronda
