I took a walk on Tommy Thompson Trail Tuesday. The trip included encounters with a variety of Northwest birds including a killdeer. Near the Samish Indian Nation recreational vehicle park at Weaverling Spit in Anacortes.
A mallard preens at the shore of a Fidalgo Island pond, displaying beautiful colors and feather patterns.
This beautiful mallard moved in and out of bushes along the water’s edge as we walked Saturday afternoon on the Tommy Thompson Trailway.
A sailboat motors in front of the oil tanker British Mallard, moored at the Shell wharf in Fidalgo Bay Thursday afternoon.
