Birds of the Skagit Flats

Winter is one of the most spectacular time to bird in the Pacific Northwest. The river flats of the Skagit, Samish and Stillaguamish are awash in swans, snow geese, eagles, hawks and falcons. Class time will introduce you to the identification of common species of waterfowl and raptors large and small. The field trip on Sunday February 7th will take you to the richest areas of the river flats, where Peregrines hunt Bald Eagles soar, Trumpeter Swans and Snow Geese fill the air.
