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. In 1974, Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge was established to protect the delta and its diversity of fish and wildlife habitats. It seems like the farther the north we go, the colder, and wetter, and a whole lot snowier it gets!

Nisqually Delta Wildlife Refuge

10,000 Birds

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.
