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. We often visit the Darrington area later in the year looking for spring migrants, but it can also be good for resident birds, such as American Dipper, Evening Grosbeak and many woodpeckers. Our birding stops will include Bryson Road, C-Post Road, Fortson Mill Ponds, Squire Creek Campground and Whitehorse Park. Dress for the weather and pack a lunch.
