When spring arrives and migrant songbirds begin to return to the Pacific Northwest, our focus tends to shift to the wooded shoreline of Drayton harbor. Most of our marine species will still be present so, after checking the beaches to see who is there on the water and the spit, we will focus part of our time on trying to find spring migrants such as rufous hummingbirds, Swainson’s thrushes, Wilson’s warblers, common yellowthroats, black-headed grosbeaks and, hopefully, swallows overhead as well as others. Resident species from eagles to chickadees will also be present. Please join us to enjoy spring birding at Semiahmoo and Drayton harbor.

Whether you are a novice birder or more experienced, you will enjoy the birds and the fine company on this relatively easy walk of less than two miles.
