Black and white photo. A sky full of clouds above a wetland in the mid distance. Close by there is grass, and in the far distance are snow-capped mountains.

A couple of weeks ago I took a morning walk abound Spencer Island Park in Everett. I was hoping that there might be some early migratory birds to get photos of, but no luck. Just some ducks, and a few herons.

Even so, it was a morning well spent; the park is very nice, and the trails are easily walkable through most of it. I might take another run up there next week to see if any flocks have arrived.
