NOTE: Don’t let winter weather deter your enthusiasm for joining our Skagit Birding Eco Tour.  Much of the birding can be done from and close to the warmth of the vehicle.  Nonetheless, warm clothing (layers, gloves and hat) and rain gear are highly recommended to keep you warm and dry on the short walks.
