Four feathered friends
With the changing of seasons has come a dramatic drop in the level of the bird population at Ship Harbor on the west side of Anacortes. Of course my walk included sightings of gulls, herons and crows. There is also still an osprey in a nest. And I was happy to encounter the little birds […]
Cessna “Mustang” jet over Ship Harbor
Grandson Jake loves cars and planes, so when we spotted this Cessna Citation Mustang over the Guemes Channel yesterday morning I quickly handed off my camera so he could do the honors of “documenting” its visit.

A man and his dog
Dog’s best friend. This pup was in dog heaven Sunday morning as he and his master walked the tideflats to water’s edge at Ship Harbor. Lots to explore along the way before the ultimate frolic in the surf.
Morning on the shoreline
I shared some special early morning time today with resident wildlife at Ship Harbor.
Summer ferries at Ship Harbor
State ferry Yakima arrives in Anacortes in light rain Saturday morning. Activity at the terminal reflected a return to the summer schedule. Not sure about ridership figures, but I assume they are lighter due to COVID-19 restrictions.
