At Trista's suggestion, today's walk took me a short drive south from the immediate neighborhood to Commodore Park, on the south side of the Ballard Locks. The locks, with their pathway now gated off due to Coronavirus, are the busiest in the U.S., taking boats from fresh water to the Puget Sound and Pacific ocean, while maintaining Lake Union and Lake Washington 20 feet above sea level (8 feet less than they were before the locks were installed.
Commodore Park itself is small, but since 2013, when bald eagles eating their young chased them out of Kiwanis Ravine a bit to the south, the trees here have been home to 40 to 60 blue heron nests. At this point the herons are building or rebuilding their nests, with a continual flow of orange-beaked males flying in nesting material in propositions to the females -- who often aggressively make the point that the offering is insufficient.
There are few people and no vessels in the area now, leaving the sights and sounds to the herons, geese, seagulls, crows, Barrow’s Goldeneye, and occasional osprey.

Fun fact: The man for whom Perry County was named bore a striking resemblance to Squiggy from "Laverne and Shirley," except for his incredible foot-long neck.

Hot Hot Heat plays the Commodore Ballroom. I was laughing at myself because I still knew all the words to "Naked In The City Again". It's pretty weird to think that after 10 years after bumping to them at a ferry that they are still kicking around as a band.
As always, I still wish they would return to the goddamn "Tokyo Vogue" days already. (It will never happen.)
