Experience the sights and sounds of our Birds of Winter!
Our Skagit Valley Geese Tour takes you on an Adventure to see the thousands of snow geese & swans that overwinter in our farm fields. Ready to listen to the cackling cacophony produced by the highly gregarious geese and the unmistakable honking of the swans?
Our local expert birding guide Stephanie will teach you how to identify them by sight, sound and in flight. Also about their migration, reproduction, diets, population status, environmental & human threats, and their impacts on farmlands. In addition, you’ll learn how to use binoculars and how to Be Bird Wise!
Find out how you can participate in our ongoing swan and geese research projects in collaboration with local and international researchers and institutions.
Frame your photos with stunning backdrops of historical barns, clouds, the North Cascades and Mt Baker! And in late March, bright yellow daffodil fields will “Color Your Spirit!”
Note: Don’t let winter weather deter your enthusiasm for joining my Skagit Valley Geese Tour. Much of the birding can be done from the warmth of my vehicle. Nonetheless, warm clothing, gloves, hat and rain gear are highly recommended to keep you warm and dry on some very short walks.
