The Brant are beginning to congregate up near Birch Bay and Semiahmoo.
I observed more than 1,000 in Birch Bay and 200+ off the Semiahmoo Spit on
Saturday. I received a report from an individual who observed over 200 from
Blaine's Marine Park today.
The 1st (Annual) Brant Festival is this weekend, April 12-13, at the
Semiahmoo Resort, so maybe the Brant are reading their mail, after all!
Come on up to Whatcom County this weekend and check it out. North Cascades
Audubon Society volunteers will have as many as 5 viewing stations and there
will be shuttles between the stations if you'd like to park and ride.
Tickets are still available for the Saturday evening banquet and there will
be lots of handouts, events, etc.
E-mail me with any questions you might have.
