Swans of Winter: Trumpeter and Tundra Swans of the Pacific Flyway
with Martha Jordan, Swan Lady of the Northwest

Come and learn the acts, myths, and legends of the Trumpeter and Tundra
Swans of Washington's winter. Learn about the life history, biology,
and in-depth swan identification in two evenings of lectures and
slides. We will explore the problems and controversies these birds face
on their wintering grounds and what is needed to ensure their future.
We will discuss the recent lead poisoning die-off and other issues of
survival these swans face in Washington and around the country. A
full-day field trip to Skagit Valley and beyond will show you the
diversity of places you can find swans.
