This is one of the largest waterfowl migrations in North America. Hike around refuge is 6 miles RT with little elevation gain. Crossing the border to Canada will require proper identification & sharing of gas costs with the driver, entry fee of $4 per person to be paid by individual participants. Group may stop for a meal on the return, but please bring a lunch, drinking water & snacks. Birding books & binoculars and spotting scopes welcomed. We will meet in Bellingham at 10:30 am.
