Birdwatching & Whale Watching
At Semiahmoo
The region’s tide pools, estuaries, and waterways attract thousands of bird species each year — ideal for avid birdwatchers to check a few off their list, and exciting for the casual bird lover to see some impressive species. You can hike, bike, or walk among 300 natural acres. Seek out bald eagles, blue herons, and a plethora of other birds on a self-guided birdwatching tour.
Wings Over Water Birding Festival
The annual multi-day birding festival held mid-March celebrates the incredible variety of migratory birds that flock to the coastal waters of Drayton Harbor, Birch Bay and Semiahmoo Bay at the northwest corner of Washington State. The festival provides free activities both indoor and outdoor for the entire family.
