Meet at 8:00 AM at the Snohomish Park and Ride on Avenue D, just off Hwy 9 and Bickford Ave. We will explore the Blackman’s Lake area, Riverview Wildlife Refuge, the Snohomish Flats and Ebey Slough. There should be lots of ducks and other waterfowl. We’ll also look for winter raptors and songbirds, and perhaps a shrike or two. Pack a lunch.
