Winter in the Skagit Valley brings a quieter pace, misty mornings, and one of the most spectacular wildlife experiences in the Pacific Northwest: the Birds of Winter Experience. Each year, thousands of birders and nature lovers travel to the region to witness the seasonal migration of bald eagles, snow geese, swans, raptors, and dozens of other species that make this landscape their winter home. And there is no better place to base your birding adventure than La Conner.
