Birds and racoons

Last Saturday morning I spied a raccoon (with the aid of some crows). It was a big one with no tail. Interestingly, crows help me find about 90 percent of the wildlife in the Arboretum, especially if its a predator. I don't know if the crows are warning their friends or if they're just being jerks and yelling a lot, but they sure help me out.
I've been told that the Coopers Hawks in the Magnolia area have hatched, which is great news. I haven't heard on the status of the nest in Pacific Connections, so stay tuned.
There is an Eagles nest in some trees just north of the Center for Urban Horticulture. I saw one of them coming from the nest today. I saw his/her huge shadow first, and then saw it flying towards Lake Washington.
