Cool. I saw one in a very similar environment (including the post) this last weekend, out near Port Angeles...was just wondering if we'd been playing in the same fields or not :D

No but the lummi flats Skagit flats and flats near Stanwood all look the same so I assume there are lots of places that look the same.

Well done. Not too often one gets a chance at a perched harrier. Good shooting.

Thanks guys I snuck up on this one behind a couple barns so he didn't see me coming and there was some construction so he didn't hear me either, but when he saw me I think I only got 5 shots off with the 1D4 and he was gone.
