dreamalaska Posted May 10, 2007 #1 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Is there any birding tour offered by local operators at the Ports of Alaska? We will go in the end of this month. Our ports are Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan. If not, can someone recommend few places to see those western migrating birds? Yukon, do you think Swans can still be spotted along the Klondike HW from Skagway by the time we got there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukon Posted May 10, 2007 #2 Share Posted May 10, 2007 The only birding tours that I'm aware of are for marine birds (as well as marine mammals) out of Sitka and Seward. The migratory birds will largely be gone by the time you get here - the rich period is right now. http://www.explorenorth.com/wordpress/ shows what it was like this past weekend. The Dyea Flats out of Skagway are fairly good for waterfowl all summer, though. Murray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamalaska Posted May 10, 2007 Author #3 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Murray, thanks a lot. the shot of trumpeter swan looks great on your website. Too bad we may not see it. We may drive to Dyea to see the waterfowls.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
