The Snow Geese, Swans, waterfowl and raptors are back in our area for the winter and the plans for the Third Annual Port Susan Snow Goose And Birding Festival are well under way.

Watch this site for more information on the family programs at Four Springs Park on Camano Island. This new fun and educational activity will include hands on learning, story telling, science and even live birds!

At the Floyd in Stanwood, you can enjoy speakers and a panel of experts. Vendors and artists will have displays and items for sale. Tours will leave from the Floyd and maps will be available of all the great places to see our winter visitors.


Port Susan Snow Goose & Birding Festival 2008
Panel Discussion: Whose Habitat is it Anyway?
Date: Saturday Feb 23, 2008 at 3:00 pm.
Location: The Floyd


Last year’s discussion was an excellent beginning dialogue of the challenges in cohabiting with the birds & other wildlife in our community and the roles agriculture, recreation, conservation and business play in working together cooperatively in stewardship of the birds.

Continuing the discussion of last year, it will be broadened to include the importance of and the individual responsibility for agricultural sustainability in these counties. We're also moving the time of the discussion to reach a wider audience - it will take place at 3PM, Saturday, February 23rd at the Floyd Norgaard Cultural Center in Stanwood. This is the primary hub of the festival where bus tours check in, organizations and vendors have booths, and speakers present in the auditorium on the second floor. We're asking John Dean once again to moderate. This is an opportunity for all of us to share our concerns, ask questions and build a deeper understanding of how we can work together to achieve a balanced – and mutually beneficial – co-habitation with the birds of Port Susan.

Participants include:
Rone Brewer, Chair,NW Chapter Washington Waterfowl Association
Mike Davison, Wildlife Biologist, Department of Fish & Wildlife
David Dicks, Executive Director, Puget Sound Partnership
Don McMoran, WSU Extension, Agriculture & Natural Resources
Pilchuck Audubon Representative, TBD
Farming Community Representative, TBD
