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. Fidalgo Island and North Whidbey Island offer a variety of habitats, with lake and waterfront settings as well as nearby woodland. Stops may include March Point, Campbell Lake, Rosario Beach, Deception Pass and Dugualla Bay. Dress for the weather and pack a lunch.
