Self-Guided Birding Tours

Even though the Snow Goose Festival has been canceled, you can still see many geese, swans, eagles and other birds in the area. Here are three sites that were self-guided tours.

ENGLISH BOOM
From Stanwood drive west on Hwy 532. At the top of the hill turn right onto Good Road. After about 3/4 mile that road curves to the left and becomes Utsalady Road. Go about 1 mile and turn right onto Moore Road. Follow Moore to the end of the road.

BIG DITCH
