Birdman, and other bird lovers, have you been to NW Washington? I was just up driving from Tacoma to Aberdeen, up to Forks and then Port Angeles. Found out about the Lower Elwha Dam removal. Very cool story if you don't know about it.

Actually got to go out on some of the beaches that have formed from the sediment. The tribe said they have almost 80 new acres of land. Anyways, saw a bunch of bald eagles at the mouth of the river.
Sorry for the size. There was a note in the Tribe's museum with sentiment from an elder that remembered when the graffiti went up and at the time, no one at the Tribe thought the dam would ever come down.
I guess I could have put this in a different science related thread, but wanted to share with you all.
