Every Day in September 2016, #20 - Environments and Habitats -

EDiS #20 - Wetland - "Ebey's Landing"
Just up Hiway 525 from where I live is Coupeville, and the Ebey's Landing Preserve. It is an amazing place, with miles of trails, a beautiful wetland preserve filled with herons, deer, foxes, coyotes, and marsh birds of all kinds. It is near historic Fort Casey State Park. Right on the beach, it is a beachcomber and birdwatchers delight. Here is what their website says about it:
"...Almost a Paradise of Nature.
This stunning landscape at the gateway to Puget Sound, with its rich farmland and promising seaport, lured the earliest American pioneers north of the Columbia River to Ebey’s Landing. Today Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve preserves the historical, agricultural and cultural traditions of both native and Euro-American – while offering spectacular opportunities for recreation.”
