Bird Watching & Wildlife

Bird watching is a universal activity. Farmer Deer wandering the fields is not uncommon!Bill's Country Market is situated in a valley surrounded by mountains, trees, a creek or two that flows through its fields and McCoy Lake at its back door. Many birds and water fowl are found here ranging from, eagles, hawks, owls, egrets, osprey, swans, loons, blue herons, Canada Geese, sand hill cranes, ducks galore, chimney swifts, humming birds, swallows, gross beaks and cross beaks are some of many that have made their home here or visited the farm. Black-tail deer, black bear, beaver, weasels, and raccoons are regular wildlife sights on the farm and on rare occasions a cougar and a wolf have been spotted crossing the fields. The farm's natural setting attracts these critters to feed on the grassy fields, nest on the lake or in the trees, raise their young, and feed on prey. These are spectacular sights to see on the farm!

Stroll the Trails

The guided Trail Walk will give you the chance to venture on the farm through a section of the 50 acre treed lot situated on the farm. You will be able to see and hear the many sights and sounds that the forest has to offer. Walk along a stream bed that is filled with fry and is sheltered by large fir trees and shrubs. You'll experience the wonders of nature, and when you look up you may see a hawk, or eagle soaring through the sky. You'll see signs of logging from years gone by when only an ax, bow saws and spring boards were used. Be sure to wear appropriate footwear for this entertaining trail walk.
