Union Bay Natural Area brush fire

A group of us went to the Union Bay Natural Area (the Montlake Fill) on a regular outing and were surprised to come across a burnt out field. We thought it must have been a controlled burn but found out later on the internet it wasn't planned. According to the UW Daily, Campus Crime Blotter post the fire occurred July 29th- only 8 days previous from our visit. The brush fire burned roughly 2 acres and the charred remains is a stark contrast amongst the golden fields thriving with wildflowers.

Union Bay Natural Area

Otherwise known as the Montlake Fill is an amazing refuge in the backyard of the UW's campus.

I saw a pair of Harlan's Red-tailed hawks. The other was being pestered by crows in a neighboring tree.
