- My mother lives in the White Center area just half-way between the
- Duwamish River and the Sound. Every year for the last ten there has been
- a pair of GB Herons living in a tree in the neighbor's back yard. We
- figure that it is a good, protected nesting area near two feeding areas-
- Seola Beach just around the corner south of the Fauntleroy ferry terminal
- and Kellog Island on the Duwamish.
-
- It's quite a sight to see those big birds soaring through the home
- neighborhood!
