Valentine’s Day Marsh Walk

On Valentine’s Day Heather and I took a walk through the marsh near her apartments.  The sunset was beautiful over Marys Peak.

Lots of ducks feeding in the shallow water.

An egret hunting in the shallows.  This is the first year that I have seen egrets in the Willamette Valley although I understand that they have been in the area for the last few years.  Perhaps with climate change we will see more of these white birds in Oregon.
