Meet at 8:00 AM at the Snohomish Park and Ride on Avenue D, just off Hwy 9 and Bickford Ave. (the address is 1700 Avenue D). 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. Our possible stops will include the Blackman’s Lake area, Riverview Wildlife Refuge and Bob Heirman Preserve. In this transitional period, we should still see winter waterfowl but will also be watching for early migrants like swallows and Rufous Hummingbird. Dress for the weather and pack a lunch.
