Go Birding

The estuary, shores and forests of Sitka are excellent places to watch birds that are migrating through in the spring and fall. We also boast a fabulous array of birds that are hardy enough to stay all year around. From the common American Robin to the long travelled Bar-Tailed Godwit, there is a chance of seeing a wide variety of birds here, depending on the time of your visit. If you get excited about majestic bald eagles and raucous ravens, this place is a "guaranteed" opportunity to see them in action most of the year. Bring your binoculars, pencil and your favorite bird identification book and get ready to check birds off your list! You can learn more about the birds in the park and download a bird checklist here. You can also stop by the visitor center for a bird checklist.
