Bob Mauritsen asks for directions to 72nd St, Delta:

72nd Street runs north from the northwest end of Boundary Bay.

>From Seattle, take Hwy 99 well past White Rock and Mud Bay to the Hwy 10
exit (also called Ladner Trunk Rd). Drive west on Hwy 10 to 72nd. Turn
left (south) and drive to the dyke at the end of the road. The Snowy
Owls
should be visible from there. Check all of the fields for many other
species
(SE Owl, RL Hawk, Bald and possibly Golden eagles, BB Plover, Dunlin,
Peregrine Falcon, waterfowl, Northern Shrike, etc.)

If you should miss the HWY 10 exit, don't worry. Continue on 99 to the
Hwy
17 exit and take it south toward the Tsawwassen ferry terminal. Before
driving that far, however, turn left (east) onto Hwy 10, to 72nd, then
right
(south), etc.

Stop along the many farm roads between Hwy 17 and Mud Bay, especially
around
the Boundary Bay airport. There should be many birds all through that
area.

Good luck.
