10,000 Birds

AUGUST 13, 2011

We had a blast, the family and I, and experienced some amazing natural places, to say nothing of the fine city of Seattle. To go by the numbers, I saw 79 species of bird while in Washington (150 county ticks), 21 of which were year birds and 8 of which were lifers. The Lucky Diner on First Avenue in Seattle has delicious food.

The end of this rather long road trip finds us here in Puyallup, Washington which is just south of Seattle. We pulled into the RV park next to the Washington State Fairgrounds on Saturday afternoon, and it promptly started snowing! Nisqually NWR.

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.
