Meet at 7:00 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). We’ll head to Blaine to meet the trip leader and then search Drayton Harbor and Birch Bay for Long-tailed Ducks, White-winged Scoters, Black Turnstones, Harlequin Ducks and more. Pack a lunch.
