Frosty Morning in Snohomish River Estuary
Union Slough and Spencer Island, Everett, Washington
It was a frosty early morning of bird watching on Spencer Island in the Snohomish River Estuary. An extremely high tide (12.0 feet) flooded through breaches in the dikes and into the estuary, providing great fishing habitat for great blue heron and bald eagles. The sun rose in a spectacle of color and began melting the frost.
