Overview of your Saskatoon tour:

Join me for 2 consecutive day trips driving out of Saskatoon to view flocks of migrating Whooping Cranes and Sandhill Cranes plus large groups of Snow Geese, Ross's Geese and other goose species. A few migrating Harris's Sparrows are also possible during fall migration. The Saskatoon region is the BEST place in the world where tourists may view large flocks of Whoopers from the road. This tour is offered from mid-September through late October when all species are possible.. During October of 2018, birders found flocks near Saskatoon containing up to 154 birds! Tour proceeds support the work of the local Living Sky Wildlife Rehabilitation charity.

Your Saskatoon tour itinerary

This 2-day guided birdwatching tour will visit resting locations where large concentrations of 5 species of geese and 2 species of cranes plus swans gather to feed. DAY 1 will focus on looking for the majestic Whooping Crane, the tallest bird in North America. It has been the symbol of wildlife conservation in North America for decades. Their population dropped to only 21 birds in 1941 but the Canadian population has now recovered to over 500 individuals. DAY 2 will focus on looking for the huge flocks of Sandhill Cranes plus Snow Geese, Ross's Geese, White-fronted Geese, Cackling Geese and Canada Geese and beautiful Tundra Swans. Tour normally runs from 7:30 AM until 3:30 PM on each day.
