Trumpeter Swans and Snow Geese in Skagit County

Winter is prime viewing time for the migrations of snow geese and trumpeter swans in the Skagit Valley. The snow geese are wintering in North Puget Sound from their breeding grounds on Siberia's Wrangel Island and mainland. You can usually see them foraging in the farmland west of Mount Vernon and on Fir Island well into March and possibly April.
