This is how it should and can look...

with respect for our neighbors, environment and wildlife.

An Eld Inlet resident sent in this picture of peace and harmony and a healthy ecosystem at work.

This is our neighbor's refreshing message:
"We are happy to see the Golden Eyes return to feed on the mussel and barnacle laden sticks that anchor our oyster bags(plus the closest in which is used as a Kingfisher perch). Since the hunters have decided not to open fire(yet)this year, the other wintering birds should hopefully return and actually survive the winter. They are always fun to see. We are also getting some Cacklers showing up with other geese once in a while. Cacklers are cute little geese as they look like someone left a Canada Goose in the dryer too long and shrunk them. They're quite easily spooked so we only get short glimpses of them. And the most exciting are the bald eagles and osprey that seem to be multiplying daily. Anyway, we are extrememly excited to see so much activity. This is how it should be. And this is how it used to be before hunters and aquaculture over-do took over."
