Wiley Slough - Fir Island — Sunday, Mar. 2, 2025

I’m still getting used to Wiley Slough since they reopened it last fall. I keep telling myself the updates are good for salmon, so that’s a good thing. Even though a lot of trees and shrubs, home to little birds, were cleared away.
I miss the big eagles nest but I guess that’s just the way it goes. Lots of friendly birdwatchers today. I didn’t hear any guns. Maybe hunting season is over.
I took my mom and we had a good time. We sat on the bench for a while and I attempted a little watercolor painting. I thought she might paint but she just gave me some tips instead. 😂
