Want to see almost all the sea ducks, geese, grebes, loons and cormorants the Salish Sea has to offer? Black Oystercatcher, Black Turnstone, Surfbirds? When was the last time you saw a Black Scoter or Long-tailed Duck within binocular range? There is a good chance to see these species at Semiahmoo.

Semiahmoo is unique in that the inside of the spit, Drayton Harbor, has many bay and lake ducks while the outside of the spit, Strait of Georgia, has the expected sea ducks.

This will be an all day trip. We will stop at Dugualla Bay on our way north. Then we will proceed to Semiahmoo. We will meet in the Semiahmoo Resort parking lot and walk from there, birding both sides of the spit. After exploring the spit, we will proceed to the Blaine Marina and bird there. On the way home, we may stop at Lummi Flats if interesting birds are present. I am looking forward to this trip as it is one of my favorite birding areas in western Washington!
