  • Snow geese from a flock on Fir Island fly past Mt. Baker in the distance. Each year about 60,000 - 100,000 Snow geese migrate from Wrangel Island in Russia to the estuaries of the Fraser and Skagit rivers. During the 3,000-mile journey, they may reach altitudes near 3,000 feet and speeds approaching 50 miles per hour. The sound of a flock of Snow geese can be heard from a mile away. (Mark Harrison / The Seattle Times)

    Whiteout
  • Snow geese look for a place to land in the farmlands of Skagit Valley off Fir Island Road.    The Fraser River delta is an important wintering spot and heavily used by the birds that will migrate to Wrangel Island to breed. (Alan Berner / The Seattle Times)
