Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge — Wednesday, Dec. 13, 2017

Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area
The first section of boardwalk

We both wanted to get outside while the sun was still shining, so we decided to go to the Nisqually Delta.  

We were dressed warmly, but as we got out on the boardwalk above the water, the wind was biting and cold, making the bird watching way less fun. We walked as far as the gate which closes the end of the boardwalk for hunting season, then returned and got warmer once away from the water.

We had our lunch on the picnic tables by the barns and we weren’t cold there at all.

Overall, it was a nice outing and we were glad we went.
