- A fallen tree in the woods near the Little Family Cemetery. It is Christmas Day 2024 and the sky is blue with some whisps of clouds. The trees are bare, and the ground is brown. This large tree has collapsed in the woods. I wonder about its age and whether it was ever seen by the family when it was young.
- Island Wildlife Area Unit (wdfw.wa.gov)
The Island Unit is accessible only by boat. A boat launch at the WDFW Skagit Headquarters Unit provides access to the unit and portions of the Skagit River estuary via Freshwater Slough. The unit is a popular waterfowl hunting area. Other recreation includes fishing, wildlife observation, and hiking. A mixture of natural and agricultural crops are grown on the Island Unit to enhance food resources for wintering waterfowl and provide improved hunting opportunity.
