Marshes and wetlands are important habitats for birds and other wildlife.
We recently celebrated Methow Dark Sky week in conjunction with International Dark Sky week. Here is my celebration from my backyard. As usual, I am a little behind with my posts. Sigh.
While the weather was unsettled with some sun breaks, we enjoyed lots of walks on the beach and along the river that empties into the ocean.
WordPress has a new glitch and won’t save my usual tiled gallery style, so for now, I am stuck with this look. Hopefully, this is not a permanent glitch.
Willow and I continued our roadtrip around the Peninsula and then south to meet up with Ken to dig razor clams. That first night we had a lovely sunset. And Willow found a stick.
Willow and I continued our tour of western Washington with a drive around the Olympic Peninsula – an area I haven’t visited in twenty years. It may have been the best weather of the eighteen days on the road. And it was my birthday! Imagine how excited I was to see Brants, a type of goose, along the shore! For me, this is a rare bird and I cannot remember the last time I saw one. They winter on the Washington coast before heading north for the breeding season. I also saw some ducks, a few shorebirds and Black Turnstones too.
