Long-billed Curlew
This continues my post on Elkhorn Slough during an incredible “We Paddle, You Photo” tour with Kayak Connection. This is a sampling of the bird photos I took on this trip.
Since these shots were taken on the morning of Halloween, the last photo celebrates that “scarey” day. (It was actually a gorgeous day on the water.)
If you live near a wetland, take some time to enjoy the beauty of the water and wildlife. There are always surprises.

We have quite a few sloughs around here, but it seems that some of our best bird watching opportunities come from the pastures that flood every winter. I do like that there’s quite a bit of wetland restoration happening, too.

Sounds like a great spot.
Yes, there are some positive signs out there.
P.S. Hope you’re doing well.

I know…I think the same thing each time I go. I don’t get out there enough.
