Meet at Semiahmoo County Park parking lot.

February is prime time for marine birds on the eelgrass habitats of Semiahmoo and Drayton Harbor. Please join us for a rather leisurely stroll as we bird the beaches along the spit. If weather conditions allow, we will walk from the county park to the pier at the end of the spit and return, a distance of about 2.5 miles. Please check the forecast and dress for the weather.

We can usually locate about 45 species of birds including about 15 duck species, two of geese, two cormorants, possibly three species of loons, three different grebes, several species of shorebirds and gulls, Bald Eagles, a collection of about a dozen passerines and maybe a surprise or two.

Birders of all skill levels are welcome. If you are new to birding please let us know and ask for assistance. Besides your leader, there are usually a number of knowledgeable Auduboners present willing to be of help.
