Meet at Semiahmoo County Park parking lot.
December usually brings not only a lot of birds to the eelgrass beds of Semiahmoo but also a pleasing variety of species. The wintery weather can also present challenges to the birders who wish to see them. Please check the forecast and be prepared for possible wind, rain and cold temperatures. But do come! You will be rewarded by an outstanding variety of bird species. Please bring binoculars and scopes if you have them.
Bald eagles will be returning to the spit and a few other raptor species may also be present. But the numbers of birds on the water are the main attraction. We can often find fifteen or more species of waterfowl alone, plus cormorants loons and grebes and probably a few shorebird species. On the spit, resident species like crows, chickadees, house finches, wrens, towhees and juncos are often joined by wintering sparrows and kinglets, among others.
Novice birders are more than welcome. Please ask questions and for support as needed.
Be prepared not only for the weather but for a good time with birds and other birders.
