This wonderful piece of birding real estate can be found 8 miles east of Olympia, and an hour’s drive south of Seattle Washington, right along the I-5 corridor. Unfortunately, while I was still living in the Seattle area, I had discovered the Nisqually Refuge to late, just weeks prior to setting sail south.

The end of this rather long road trip finds us here in Puyallup, Washington which is just south of Seattle. Over 200 species of birds can be found on the refuge, depending on the time of year. It seems like the farther the north we go, the colder, and wetter, and a whole lot snowier it gets!

We will cover nearly 3000 miles driving before we reach Seattle, and our final stop. Now, bear in mind, there are nearly 10,000 Canada and Cackling Geese on this refuge, and all I had to was find one single Greater White-fronted Goose , mixed in with the others. Now we are on our way to Seattle, The Billy Frank Jr.

Little Big Year species count: 834.
