The Salish Sea is teeming with seabirds migrating along the Pacific Flyway. Come aboard the Snow Goose, a comfortable 65-foot vessel captained by Dan Liden, and join us in exploring the waters of Bellingham Bay, Lummi Island, and the surrounding areas. We'll search for scoters, loons, murres, auklets, guillemots, cormorants, and a variety of gulls.
