Sunrise a few mornings ago proved to be a spectacular one here in Metchosin. Just off of Duke Rd is a small path leading to the ocean side which offers a great  panoramic view. The bay was filled with seals, sea birds, Herons, and even a Bald Eagle all awaiting the morning light to start their day.
