    Wonderful photo! I think that’s our resident heron who often sits on the rocks at Constellation Park at Alki. He (she?) always seems to be alone. Has anyone ever seen a mate?

    Haha that’s awesome.

    I watched one the other day at the seabird survey protocol training that was ‘log rolling’ 

    Of course everyone was camera-less!

Sorry, comment time is over.
