Happy Pi Day!
For those taking a trip up to the Samish flats…
The daffodils are blooming! RoozenGarde Bloom map shows which fields have
daffodils this year.
Yesterday:
Chilberg Rd east of LaConner very near the farm at Chilberg Lane had two
large flocks of swans.
Sam Bell Rd east of Hwy 11, Chuckanut Drive, still had 1000’s of trumpeter
swans, wigeons, pintails and mallards in the potato fields. The Whooper
kindly stood near the road so we had a great view.
Allen West Rd just east of Thomas Rd has an active eagle nest.
Joe Leary Slough at D’Arcy Rd had 18 ring necked ducks, 42 wigeons and 4
mallards in view.
And, there were at least 35 GBH on Padilla Bay at the north end of Padilla
Bay Shore Trail- it was low tide.
Of course bald eagles, red tail hawks, a jillion starlings and brewers
blackbirds along whatever route you choose!
