Find the town of Edison on any map of Washington; it's due west of exit
236
on I5. The road through Edison enters from the East and exits to the
south. Driving south from Edison, you will meet the Sammish Island Road
in
a block or two, just past the "Liquor Store". Turn right (west) on that
road and continue until you meet the Bayview-Edison Road (maybe a mile).
Go
straight through that three-way intersection. About a half mile west is a
right-angle turn to the north (the "west 90" degree turn). Stop there.

There is a small barn to the left and a large shed west of the road. Look
south from there to a fence line in the distance. Many snowies are often
on the posts of that fence and others in the area bounded by the road, the
Bayview-Edison Road and the dike. I've seen one also in the field north
and east of your location.

Also many short-eared owls, harriers, and hawks there.
