Here are a couple more Double-crested Cormorants, seen a couple of days ago at sunset from Ala Spit on Whidbey Island, Washington. These guys and gals regularly fly between Ala Spit and Hope Island. They can also be seen flying through Deception Pass (e.g., from Pass Island).

Great Blue Heron, with a nearby duck (partially hidden), in the Skagit River Estuary, Washington state. I watched the heron for some time before realizing that there was a nearby duck. They did not seem to be bothered by the close proximity. Seen yesterday evening, just before sunset.

Seen a couple of days ago at sunset at Hayton Preserve, Fir Island, Washington. I think this is a Western Sandpiper, but please let me know if you think otherwise. It was part of a small flock (20 to 25 birds) swooping back and forth over the water at high tide.

From Artist's Point (in northwestern Washington), you can look to the east to see Mount Shuksan and then look to the west to see (Table Mountain and Ptarmigan Ridge leading to) Mount Baker. This stunning location is aptly named.
