Meet at 7:30 AM at the Quilceda Village Walmart lot west of Marysville (I-5 exit 200). Park away from the store, to the east, near Quilceda Blvd. (next to I-5). Please come prepared to carpool – the number of cars impacts safety as well as where we are able to stop for birding, and also we want to be environmentally conscious. Organize into carpools and meet the leader at 8 AM at Hamilton Landing Park, 26810 98th Ave NW in Stanwood. We will look for fall migrants and water birds at great birding spots on Camano, such as English Boom, Barnum Point and Iverson Point. Dress for the weather and pack a lunch.
