Northern Harrier

Local photographer John Miller went on a photo safari last week and captured quite a few beautiful wildlife images that he’ll be sharing with us. Below is a female Northern Harrier hawk he saw on Fir Island, last Friday. Thanks John!

And just in case you didn’t know – Fir Island is where you’re at when you take the other way over to I-5 by turning right at the Farmhouse Inn and driving all the way to Conway on that backroad – You cross a bridge after the little Rexville Gas Station… that’s the North Fork of the Skagit River (right before Snow Goose Produce). Then you drive for a while until you cross another bridge after that Church on the left… that’s the South Fork of the Skagit River. Fir Island is what you’re on in between those 2 bridges.
