Temperate salt and fresh waters of western Washington are very attractive to wintering waterfowl. Their migrations to these favorable feeding deltas are renowned. Think about traveling from the Arctic clear to our shores and beyond! We will learn about the life histories of these intriguing, feathered animals on our field trip to Skagit and Samish Flats (with some short easy walks). Flocks of these beautiful white to rainbow-colored birds await our viewing!
This Field Trip can be taken as a stand-alone or with the one-session class on February 15. ALL drivers WILL NEED a WA state “Discover Pass” to access several public lands areas.
