We had heard that presently a Great-horned owl and her fledglings could be seen at the Nisqually Wildlife Preserve. Blue skies and temperatures in the mid-40s greeted us upon arrival at the Nisqually. When we had finshed our four hours' 'bird' walk we had seen close to 50 different kind of bird species. Among the highlights (for us) six Greater White-fronted geese, several pairs of Cinnamon Teals, a couple Rufous Hummingbirds, and one of the owl fledglings sitting motionless above us on a tree branch, yet too far away for a good close-up photo.
