About this Event

Join Skagit Land Trust on Saturday February 22, 2025 for an early morning Swanrise.

Trust staff and local birding experts will lead you to viewing areas near the main part of the lake. There, as the sun’s first rays burn the mist off the water, guests will listen as a chorus of migrating waterfowl greet the day with squawks, honks, and general chatter.

Bring your binoculars to watch hundreds of Trumpeter Swans take off for the day from their overnighting spot at Barney Lake. And get closer looks at the variety of waterfowl that use the lake. Hawks, eagles, and great blue heron are often spotted during these visits.

This event starts at 6:45am at McLaughlin Ext. Rd in Mt. Vernon. More details will be sent out closer to the event.
