Today was such a beautiful day on the water…and I got started as the tide was coming in…so I paddled all the way to Kirby Park for the first time in a couple of months. Kirby is 4.5-5 miles into the Slough. I remember the first time I made it all the way there – I was sooooo elated. Then I had to go every time I paddled…now I try to make it there once or twice a month. My favorite part of the Slough, these days, is between 2.5 – 3 miles in. I’m not sure why I’m so enamored with that area right now, but I am.
Biggest otter raft I’ve seen in the harbor for a couple of months
Checked, couldn’t find what the sea lions were all so interested in
This snowy egret is almost always on this stump
Double-crested and pelagic cormorants (I see them most every day, but don’t often photograph them)
Was so excited to finally see what I think is a greater (or lesser?) yellowlegs – whoo hoo!
This is just a rock outcropping I like, over near Kirby Park
I think these are bufflehead (ducks)
Lots of pelicans…
