Circle Tour of Scout Island Marsh


In June we walked around the marsh at Scout Island by taking a little used trail that was flooded earlier in the year.

Some geraniums were growing along the causeway.


Lots of duck families were hiding out on this side of the marsh.

In the little settling pond behind the water store there was a goldeneye with her ducklings.


The ducklings were already diving for food.

Also a blue-winged teal with her young:


And mallards


We had to climb up the steep embankment to the Hwy 20 bridge


to get to the walkway through the R.L. Cotton site, where we saw bright pink roses


And Leo got a great shot of this clay colored sparrow.

We stopped for a photo of me in the midst of the flowering mustard


before we crossed the new bridge back to Scout Island.
