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). We will explore Wylie Slough, Hayton Reserve, and the farm roads of Fir Island and the Skagit Valley in search of wintering raptors and waterfowl. Dress for the weather and pack a lunch.
