Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge — Friday, Jun. 3, 2011

Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area

WOW!!! The extensive boardwalk (over 2 miles of it!) and other improvements made at the Refuge since removing the dikes are impressive! What a lovely and leisurely, beautiful place this is. And the wildlife knows it in spades! There are more herons than you can shake a stick at, we saw about 5 species of waterfowl (amny with babies), a frolicking raccoon, amphibians and insects galore, as well as turkey vultures, and your typical songbirds, shorebirds, and tidal critters (shellfish, etc.). This is a fabulous and even wheelchair accessible destination for all ages and types. Enjoy!!! Photos at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/51278183@N05/sets/72157626755531659/detail/
