We’ll meet at the NSRA parking area on Helmick Rd. just east of Sedro Woolley on the north side of SR 20 and walk the trails along both sides of Hansen Creek.  American Bitterns, Sora and Virginia Rails, Marsh Wrens and Common Yellowthroats are possibilities, as are Tree Swallows, Mountain Bluebirds, Townsend’s Solitaires and other early neotropical migrants.  Please wear sturdy, waterproof walking shoes and be prepared for wet and cold.  Leader:  John Day; home phone 360.856.0644; cell phone 360.854.8415; email jday0730@gmail.com.
