Great blue heron, rocky shoreline at Rosario Beach.
It’s the day after Labor Day, unofficial end of Summer 2021. I shared the beach at the state ferry terminal with only a handful of people and a few herons. Oh, yes, and seagulls…
In addition to the exercise and fresh air, my morning walk yielded this photo of a great blue heron moving from beach to adjacent wetland. Shot through natural barrier along shoreline trail, Bowman Bay.
My drive to the Bayview Edison area Monday afternoon featured opportunities to photograph herons, hawks and eagles. Another beautiful Skagit day!
Blue heron reflected in water while enjoying a snack. Downtown Anacortes.
Every fisherman moves to a new spot when the action is slow. This blue heron works the rocks on low tide at Rosario Beach, “flying” a few feet from time to time across the water. Fishing was good that morning!
A blue heron hanging out Monday afternoon at Cap Sante Marina in downtown Anacortes.
There’s a reason they are named Great Blue Heron. I photographed this beauty Wednesday at a downtown Anacortes wetland area when he/she decided to join another heron situated in a different corner of the pond.
