This field trip will be searching the Samish Flats for Raptors, Snow Geese, Trumpeter Swans, waterfowl, shorebirds and any other interesting birds that happen to be around. The trip will begin and end at the Alger Park and Ride, I5 Exit 240. Arrive early so we can leave promptly at 9:00 am. We will carpool in 3 cars (4 in each car) while we search for birds. Bring water, hot beverages, snacks and lunch to eat on the run. Dress to keep dry and warm and bring binoculars and a spotting scope if you happen to have one. We will see Trumpeter Swans, Bald eagles, Rough-legged hawks, Harriers, Red-tailed hawks, Kestrels and search for the other less common raptors such as Short Eared Owls and Merlins and Snow Geese.
