Quick walk Saturday morning at Ebey’s Landing. Parked at the main lot next to the beach on Ebey’s Landing road - nearly full at 8:30. Discover Pass required as per normal. Pit toilet open but likely will want to bring your own TP. Trail is a bit brushy this time of year, nothing blocking but you will get your legs wet if dew/rain. The trail along the inside of the spit next to Perego’s Lagoon is completely passable now - access back to the beach easily available through area where high tides/waves had blown through previously.
Not much wild life out, heard one bald eagle, saw one raven and one heron both way off in the distance. Some swallow and sparrow out plus mourning dove, robin, a few seagulls, etc. Also saw one deer with fawn down by the beach. Large meadows of purple vetch and some gumweed, etc up on the bluff make for “UW Husky” colored flower patches. Still a relatively easy walk through one of the most beautiful parts of the country.
