 "My
wife and I had a wonderful experience. We observed several bald eagles, nesting
peregrine falcons, porpoises, seals, and a pod of orca whales as the finale.
What really made the trip memorable was seeing so many diverse species in their
natural habitat and learning more about them from our exceptionally
knowledgeable guide, Mark Lewis. The information we received on the geology,
flora and fauna of the area, and the history of the islands themselves surpassed
anything I have yet read in any guidebook or other publication on the topic. My
most sincere thanks for an experience we will always remember."

Join a professionally led bird watching tour in the

prime wildlife watching and birding location with over 300 species of
birds having been recorded. Excellent birding habitat is found in the
San Juan Islands National Wildlife Refuge, San Juan Island National
Historical Park, numerous Marine State Parks, and Moran State Park, the
largest state park in Washington.
Mark Lewis, the senior author of "Birding in the San

The San Juan Islands offer excellent bird watching
opportunities in any season. Some of our specialty species include three
species of cormorants, including the Brandt's and Pelagic; virtually all
species of North American waterfowl, including Harlequin Ducks and
Trumpeter Swans; easily accessible nesting Peregrine Falcons; a pair of
breeding Bald Eagles for each mile of shoreline; rocky shore specialists
such as Black Oystercatchers, Wandering Tattlers, and Surfbirds; a dozen
species of gulls, including Thayer's; a variety of alcids, including
