According to the literature, the heron breeding season begins in mid-February. Amy Buckler, the city planner, reports that the developer has renewed his land use application since the original approval expired. The development still calls for 6 townhomes to be built on the site that has been cleared directly east of the rookery.
The status of the land the rookery actually sits on is unclear. It is still owned by an out-of-state owner, according to the county records (which Amy Buckler says are often need to be updated.) No for sale sign is posted there. Yet the fact that the developer considered expending the number of townhomes by utilizing this site suggests that it is up for grabs.
I posted the site plan for the town homes at right, with the other maps. If you click on it, it will enlarge.

Never heard from you but wanted to let you know that about 5 minutes ago, we have a group of around 10 show up. First time I've heard them this year. The crows are chasing them all over right now. Some have landed in the trees. Hope you are out there.

Hope everything is going well.. I am a new fan of ur beautiful work. I was reading "ive heard the vultures singing" , googled u ( i never google people) and i ended up on this blog spot. Being a Puget Sound native/lover as well i hope the town houses go up elsewhere without hurting any wildlife. Thank you for sparking my interest in the subject.
