Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge — Monday, Jan. 20, 2025

Went around 11am and the tide was beginning to recede. It was MLK Jr. Day and the nominal admission fees were waived for the holiday. There were a lot of families with young children out to enjoy the sunny winter day. Saw a lot of ducks, birds of prey, herons, more ducks, and lots of small birds in trees whose names I don’t know. The boardwalk was a little slippery from the first frost of the year, but still very walkable. Nice day to be outside!
