National Geographic Sea Bird made her way east along the Columbia River. We awoke today at Crow Butte Island in a new ecosystem. Beautiful grasslands will be the backdrop for the rest of our voyage.
This morning, we landed in our Zodiacs onto the beach of Crow Butte Island. It was a perfect day to learn about the natural history of this region and take photographs. We spent the afternoon aboard National Geographic Sea Bird enjoying the sundeck and presentations. Guests also watched from the bow as we transited through the McNary Lock in the afternoon. The sunset painted the sky with beautiful colors as we sailed onward down the Columbia River.
