A weekend trip in the pumpkin. Meryll and me. Feb 7-8, 2015.

Song Sparrow on the beach.

 

Interesting vertical riffles in a small bay at Rosario Beach. I don’t recall seeing this anywhere before, but from Google Earth, it looks like it always does that on this beach.

 

Black Oystercatchers on the Urchin Rocks at the end of the same beach.

 

 

A happy crow with an unhappy little crab.

 

A beautiful robin.

 

Trumpeter Swans. They were all over the place near La Conner, making a racket. From a distance, we assumed they were Snow Geese.
