Ship Harbor Interpretive Preserve

Took advantage of the President's day holiday to stroll down along the Guemes Channel Trail and Ship Harbor Interpretive Preserve. There was a gull on nearly every piling from the old cannery.

Herons always look ungainly perched in trees. Especially on the tippy-tops of trees. 

They look ungainly when they fold their necks up for flight, too. Just awkward-looking birds in general. 

Anacortes would be a completely different place without the ferry system.
