Hello all,

My wife and I will be taking a 2 day trip from Seattle up To Reifel in about
a week for birding/bird photography. We have birded up to Bellingham before
but never North of there. We always like to try new places too.

Our basic plan would be to leave Seattle early and maybe take some sunrise
shots at a nice place like the Semiahmoo Spit and then continue toward
Boundary Bay. On the second day we could make another stop before meeting a
group of people at Reifel at about 10:30am for the rest of the day.

So what places would be good birding right now besides 72nd St entrance to
Boundary Bay and Reifel?

Are the following places good right now?
Semiahmoo Spit
Anywhere on Point Roberts
Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal
Other places on Boundary Bay


Species we would like to see:
Snowy Owls and other Owl Species
Eagle
Gyrfalcon
Black Oystercatcher
Willet
Sandhill Cranes
Redhead
Cinnamon Teal
Red-throated Look
Pacific Loon
Pileated Woodpecker
Snow Bunting


Any suggestions and tips would be greatly appreciated. I have checked out
Ebird for some of the species and locations.

Thanks
Doug Schurman
