If not for the soft, hoarse clucks of a few nearby Eider Ducks, it would be a silent sunrise on Buckle Harbor.

The elements of Buckle Island: Shells, tree bark and wood, conifer needles and cones, moss, etc.

Trails: Mossy gates, deadfalls above and below, crusty lichen, delightful dead ends.

Human touch: Soft, non-abusive, faint.
