Back from Seattle

10,000 Birds

We had a blast, the family and I, and experienced some amazing natural places, to say nothing of the fine city of Seattle. Point Defiance, Protection Island, Hurricane Hill, and Sunrise all felt our footsteps to say nothing of Carkeek Park, Discovery Park, the Space Needle, and Top Pot Doughnuts. GO TO SEATTLE!

Nisqually Delta Wildlife Refuge

10,000 Birds

The last weekend of January found me in the frosty Pacific Northwest, meeting some long over due work and family obligations. 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. Nisqually Wildlife Refuge.

Week four: We wrap up our stay in the US.

10,000 Birds

The end of this rather long road trip finds us here in Puyallup, Washington which is just south of Seattle. This location is great as it is close to Jeanne’s Family, as well as a very short drive to the Billy Frank Jr. It seems like the farther the north we go, the colder, and wetter, and a whole lot snowier it gets! Nisqually NWR.
