Snow Symphony

Snow geese, known for their white plumage and distinctive calls, migrate to Skagit Valley in Washington via the Pacific Flyway, a major bird migration route. Skagit Valley serves as a crucial winter habitat with abundant food resources, attracting these geese that breed in the Arctic. They contribute to landscape shaping by foraging on farmlands, wetlands, and estuaries, aiding in seed dispersal and nutrient cycling. The fall arrival of snow geese in large flocks is a captivating spectacle, drawing birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts to witness their beauty.
