Wildlife Watching

Walk quietly along the boardwalk at Tennant Lake to experience wetland residents, or climb the tower to view wintering swans.  Abundant wintering and migratory birds are seen at Semiahmoo Park, part of an area considered to be one of the most significant birding areas in Washington.  Majestic bald eagles congregate to feast on spawned salmon at Deming Homestead Eagle Park.  Endangered Orca whales are often seen at Lighthouse Marine Park
