Get outside: The weather is supposed to be nice Friday and Saturday. And since the sun is a rare visitor around here in the winter, you should take advantage of the chance. Some ideas:
• Go for a hike on an all-season trail.
• Go see the eagles on the Skagit River.
• Take a walk and look for wildlife at Spencer Island.
• Go birding. Snow geese, swans and many other birds have settled in for the winter. If you head to the Stanwood and Silvana area, you’re likely to see many swans and geese. Here’s how to tell the difference.
