Birds of the morning

No bald eagles this morning, but lots of other feathered friends on Tommy Thompson Trail and March’s Point. I was particularly pleased to see the tern and couple of hawks. A great way to start the day on beautiful Fidalgo Island!

Birds and bunny, weekend off to a great start

What a wonderful morning! I kicked off Memorial Day Weekend with an early morning visit to the Ship Harbor Interpretive Preserve near the state ferry terminal. Cooperative photo subjects included the familiar heron, hummingbird, loon and towhee, but I was also treated to rare sightings of a great egret (so far away!) and a skittish […]

Bright Fidalgo morning

The rewards stacked up quickly on my Wednesday morning walk, a morning featuring perfect light! Before I had returned to the car I had experienced sightings of a bunny, two eagles, multiple blue herons, red-winged blackbirds, American wigeons, mallards and a hummingbird. There were also brief encounters with a couple of old friends of the […]

Feathered friends on Fidalgo Bay

Another beautiful fall morning on Fidalgo Bay! A therapeutic walk on the Tommy Thompson Trail, including the former railroad trestle from March’s Point. Among the birds I saw were blue herons, ducks, loons, killdeer and hawk. Placid waters and morning light made for a natural “studio” setting.

Under the sea (at Rosario)

I encountered two groups of divers Saturday at Rosario Beach. I thought the first diver I spotted was a seal, and in fact he and two others were later joined by a curious seal. Pacific Northwest waters are renowned among divers. Lots of color, both plant life and underwater creatures.

Lovely Lottie Bay

Add this hike to your to-do list of summer adventures! Lottie Bay, accessible on a well-marked trail from Bowman Bay on south Fidalgo Island. If you’re up to it, a trail offshoot leads to Lighthouse Point.

Winged friends on shoreline

What a wonderful adventure! My solo walk at Ship Harbor turned into a hike to wetlands, those exposed on the shoreline and those tucked away near the state ferry terminal. I saw one eagle, one bunny and MANY birds. All shapes and sizes, from hummingbird and kingfisher to blue heron and Canada goose. Many plants […]
