Over the past several weeks I have collected an inventory of photos of “feathered Fidalgo friends,” otherwise known as birds. Images were collected at places including the lake, beaches and dunes of Deception Pass State Park, both sides of the bridge. At least one photo (immature bald) was taken in the Bay View area on the other side of the Swinomish Channel, and a couple at Ship Harbor adjacent to the state ferry terminal.
A fourth generation Skagit County native who was moved kicking and screaming from this island community in 1960. I finally reclaimed an Anacortes address in 1980, and I have been in constant celebration of my return since that time. Many of us who call Anacortes home love Fidalgo Island for its natural assets: among them are rugged beaches, pristine lakes, thousands of acres of forestland and some awesome views of the Skagit Valley and surrounding islands. Another element of my love affair with this community is its people, both natives and immigrants. They will “star” in many of my journal entries.
