Washington's White Birds of Winter: Snow Geese & Swans - Livestream

Well-known wildlife biologist Martha Jordan will present a program regarding the changing landscape that our swans and snow geese now face in migration and on their wintering grounds. You will learn about their life history, biology, and what influences their distribution across our state and the flyway, with a focus on the Skagit Valley. Martha will shed some light on the problems and controversies these birds face on their wintering grounds and what is needed to ensure their future.

Get updated on both swans and snow geese regarding winter habitat issues, avian influenza, and more, including swans and lead poisoning. You will leave with resources to help you identify swans in the field, including a printed swan/goose identification pamphlet. Learn how to help Get the Lead Out of both shooting and fishing sporting activities.

Martha will provide updates on eastern Washington swans and how Washington’s west and east sides are connected for swans. Become aware of Birding with Awareness and connections of our waterfowl and agriculture in Washington.
