MORE NOW THAN EVER BEFORE – It is snow geese season in the Skagit Valley. Rebecca Dzombak and Nancy Crowell have a website article that captures in words and images the complexity of human-snow geese interactions in the valley. As abundant as the birds are here means there are more reasons to question the effect a billboard at the I-5 Conway interchange will have on birds. See page 5 to access the Dzombak-Crowell article.

The history of snow geese in the Skagit Valley is a tangled and complex story of unintended consequences from human intervention. In her story, "Washington's Runaway Snow Geese," for Biographic magazine, Rebecca Dzombak offers a detailed and balanced view of the past and potential future for these winter visitors in our valley. The story is illustrated with images and video by photographer Nancy Crowell.
