Meet at the Quil Ceda Village Walmart lot west of Marysville (I-5 exit 200). Park in the back lot and away from the store. Our birding route may vary according to recent sightings but could include Trafton Trailhead, Riverview Meadows County Park, 12th St and Marine Park in Everett, and Baywood Nature Trail. We’ll look for whatever we can find, including nesting Osprey and Bank Swallows, flycatchers, warblers and, if we’re lucky, some shorebirds. Pack a lunch.
