My friend Christie walked with me today. We did a 3 mile out and back on the Padilla Bay Trail late this afternoon. It was a beautiful day and the tide was out. Ducks were everywhere and we saw a couple of heron, too. I noticed last time I was on the Port of Skagit trails that there were always 2 heron together, and today the same was true here. Wonder if that is the case always? Like mourning doves. 
This heron was looking for some food, and although you can't see the colors in the picture, it made for a good shot with his reflection. His partner took off as we approached; they are pretty skittish around us humans.

The crop had already started, so it was seedlings they were planting. It was pretty interesting to watch.
On the way back on the trail, about 15 bicyclists passed us. Must have been a riding club of some sort. Would be a nice bike ride on the trail, but I think you notice so many little things when you walk.
