Ok... so Matt took my best guess with his turkey hypothesis. Maybe a turkey-gull kind of a thing? I say it's time to call in the expert on Pacific Northwest gulls. Anyone heard from Mr. Martin? As a sidenote, I have to agree with Matt's rave review of Harbor Greens. I don't know much about that Teodoro character, but he and that Roy guy sure seem to have a good thing going. Whenever my husband and I fly into town (from San Diego) Harbor Greens is one of our first stops. Kudos on the website, Matt!

Thanks for your help in our recent home transaction. I enjoyed your blog entry on buying a home vs. buying a house. You truly set us up with a home ripe for memory building!

It would be nice to see a profile photo to get a better look at it's beak. What color were it's legs and feet? How tall would you guess it was. Did you see it fly? It is definitely not a turkey vulture. My best guess is a juvenile green heron or a juvenile black-crowned night heron. Do you have any other photos? Looks like a resting heron or egret to me.
