Sunday Lake, Saturday Jan 5

If you want a spectacle for birding, perhaps a trip to Sunday Lake, just off
I-5 at the Stanwood exit going west. Turn Left on the Sunday Lake Rd then
go to the public fishing access and park, walk out on the boardwalk.

In the evening about 600 trumpeter swan came to roost, some within just
yards of where I stood. Cackler and Canada geese along with mallards are
also around. A bittern exploded from the reeds not more than 10 feet from
where I stood. He/she had been watching me for more than an hour, then as
the sun went down, it left. A northern shrike flew into the trees hunting
for dinner.
