Meet at 8:00 AM at the Monroe Park & Ride, west of the Evergreen Fairgrounds on Hwy 2. (The address is 17433 US-2 in Monroe.) 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’ll explore the Snoqualmie River Valley and its various habitats – including wetlands, lakes and forest – looking for raptors, swans, waterfowl, and woodland species. Dress for the weather and pack a lunch.
