Today I went out on the pier at the tip of Semiahmoo Spit, and was surprised to see a pair of Purple Martins apparently tending to young in a nest box. I didn’t think any martins would breed so late.

Chirp,
Winter Raptor Survey available: Marion Hill and I are giving up our route that is part of Jeff Fleischer’s Winter Raptor Survey.
The route is NW Bellingham, basically between I-5 and Meridian, between Ferndale and Lynden. The survey requires one day a month in December, January, and February. November and March can also be monitored voluntarily. The survey is a specific route, about 50 miles long and usually takes 3+ hours or so; maps and data sheets are provided.

I am available to assist anyone on their first survey so they can get to know the route right away.
