About this place
In the spring, this camera provides intimate views of waterfowl like ducks, geese, and swans as well as the exciting spectacle of beluga whales swimming upriver to feed. Watch the mudflats and shallow areas adjacent to the riverbanks for dabbling waterfowl like pintails, mallards, American widgeon, green-winged teal, greater-white fronted geese, and tundra swans. Diving ducks like scaup, goldeneyes, and mergansers use the deeper stretches of the river. Beluga whales usually swim upriver chasing schools of smelt on incoming tides. 1-2 hours before the highest, high tide of the day is usually best for watching beluga whales.
