Spent last saturday peregrinating the Skagit flats, studying raptors and owls and bald eagles with North Cascades Institute and a field scientist-expert guide, David Drummond. We discovered the flock of snow geese, wintering over with us all the way from Wrangell Island, down in southern Skagit county on Fir Island, the wedge of dike-enclosed land riding low between the two mouths of the Skagit River.
I took a series of up close and personal photos, and have posted a selection over at Flickr -- you can see them by clicking here. I recommend viewing the excursion in "view as slideshow" mode.

I'm still surprised you didn't get shit on. I've got one of your geese photos on my desktop. I can almost feel the wind from their wings.
Right now I'm easin' into track 4 of Episode 16 - Snow Geese of the Skagit. No surprise to find them chillin' here on the Ish River pages.
I feel you. Tuned in.
