A beautiful day in the Kenai Peninsula....a good day to spend some time along Kachamek Bay and the shore. I spend a good part of the morning on Bishop's Slough. For those who don't know exactly what a slough is (like me), it is a marshy inlet or back-water area of a body of water.
The Kenai region has very significant tides, which can leave exposed great areas of back-water and beaches when the tide is low, making it a wonderful habitat for shore birds. I'm hoping to spend some more time photographing the tide pools later during my stay when the tides are to be very low.
I found this pair (familiar from back in Wisconsin) working the slough.

Even when watching the slough for interesting features, one cannot ignore the Kachamek Range across Kachamek Bay. Here's an image from last evening as the sun was going down.
