The end of this rather long road trip finds us here in Puyallup, Washington which is just south of Seattle. This refuge came up as #4 on a recent list of the top 25 National Wildlife Refuges that were featured in a great story here by 10000 Birds own Jason Crotty.

These birds certainly have a big fan in Alex Washoe, a freelance writer and bookseller in Seattle, WA.

It was still alive.
