Bird of the Week 🐦‍⬛

A turkey vulture (Cathartes aura) soars above Cap Sante in Anacortes. They don’t have the anatomy required to sing like other birds, so they mainly vocalize with grunts and hisses. This scavenger locates carrion with sharp eyesight and smell, roosts communally, and nests in caves or thickets. Found from Canada to South America, it is a frequent summer presence in local skies.

📚🐶 Charlotte and Liam Morscheck and Dawsin Scheer of Mount Vernon spent Friday cuddling, reading, and coloring with Ramus, a 10-year-old certified therapy dog, at the La Conner Swinomish Library.

When the kids felt shy about reading aloud, Library Assistant Jinda Cowan stepped in to share a story while Ramus rested nearby with his owner, Marty Pease.

Ramus, certified through Pet Partners International, has been visiting libraries since he was a year old — and still loves it today.
