Whidbey Audubon Society is hosting a field trip to the Skagit Flats, Fir Island and Samish Flats where there are typically great 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 9:00am at Pacific Rim Institute (PRI) in Coupeville or at 9:30am at Windjammer Park in Oak Harbor. A Discover Pass will be needed for each car. Due to narrow road shoulders and limited parking, carpools are particularly important. Bring a lunch for this all-day field trip and expect to return about 4:00pm. Snow or icy conditions cancels the trip. The trip leaders are Joe Sheldon and Dave Parent. Contact Joe Sheldon, 360-678-9060 or email him at jksheldon43@gmail.com.
