Winter Birds of Skagit Flats, Fir Island, and Samish Flats

Saturday, Feb 12, 2022: Winter birds of Skagit Flats, Fir Island, and Samish Flats.  Typically, there are large concentrations of waterfowl and raptors.  The area is considered one of the top winter raptor viewing sites in the U.S. Some walking will be involved; be prepared for some mud.  Meet at 8:30 AM at the Coupeville park and ride to carpool and then at 9 AM Windjammer Park in Oak Harbor on Rt. 20. A Discover Pass will be needed for each car.  Due to narrow road shoulders and limited parking, carpools are particularly important for this trip.  Bring a lunch for this all-day field trip.  Return to Coupeville about 5 PM. Bad snow or ice cancels the trip.

Trip is limited to twelve participants and proof of Covid vaccination is required.

Contact trip leader Joe Sheldon to reserve your spot: 360-678-9060, jksheldon43@gmail.com, Cell 206-940-7539.
