Once we arrive at our destination, we will walk along the Snoqualmie Valley Trail, keeping a lookout for birds. When we see something worth photographing, we'll stop as long as the bird(s) stay within view, before proceeding further along the trail. After about a mile or so, we'll turn back to the parking lot.

Next, we'll drive to the Chinook Bend Nature Area (47.670023, -121.928046), park, check out the beaver pond, and walk along the river in search of more wildlife.

We'll wrap up around noon.

Optional: Join me for lunch in Carnation.
