Meet at 8:00 AM at the Quil Ceda Village Walmart lot west of Marysville (I-5 exit 200). Park away from the store to the east near Quil Ceda Blvd. (next to I-5). Please come prepared to carpool -- the number of cars impacts safety and where we are able to stop for birding, and also we want to be environmentally conscious. Organize into carpools and head to Bellingham to meet the leader at 9:30 AM at Blaine Marine Park (at the first pullout after the traffic circle). We’ll bird around Drayton Harbor and Semiahmoo Spit and, if time allows, Birch Bay. Dress for the weather and pack a lunch.

Trip leader: Graham Hutchison (425-890-0723)
