The possibilities for Widows Island are more numerous today than ever. One could explore restoring the island to its past glory by rebuilding the levees and the house. Alternatively, Widows Island’s biological importance creates opportunities. Bullet points from an October 29, 2002 South Delta Improvements Program scoping meeting contained the following: • “Widdows, Eucalyptus, and Kings (aka Bra) Islands and their surrounding waterways comprise over one hundred acres of valuable terrestrial and aquatic habitat.” • “The strands of eucalyptus trees, not only provide rookery for heron and egret species, but together with surrounding ag lands, support several raptor species, both hawk and owl, including the threatened Swainson’s hawk.”
