"Beluga Slough is a tidal marsh and lagoon on Homer's northern shoreline" . . . During migration seasons it is a hot spot for birders
"The slough is linked to the sea via a tidal inlet that gets pushed by longshore drift westward toward Munson Point. This poses a problem for the private property owners on that side, so apparently someone goes out and rearranges the channel now and then. It must be a challenge for naturalists working on the marsh when some eight-year old asks them why there is bulldozer in the slough or out on the beach." quoted from "Gravel Beach Blog" http://gravelbeach.blogspot.com/2008/06/beluga-slough.html
It is part of a system of trails and "boardwalks" sponsored by the Alaska Islands and Ocean Visitor Center in Homer. http://www.islandsandocean.org http://www.akcoastalstudies.orgBeluga SloughAlaska Islands and Ocean Centerhttpwww.islandsandocean.orgcenter for alaskan coastal studiesHomerAlaskabirdingsloughmarshKachemak Bay
Rainbow over Seaside Farm, Homer Alaska Late September 2008
When folks were gathering for the "basket burning" this group of drummers kept them entertained and focused. the beautiful young lady in the foreground is writing a note to someone to put on the basket to burn and be sent to the sky. Note the photographer with the ladder. You can see him again in "burning the basket". I wonder if he got any good images.
