What a beautiful day to visit the wildlife refuge! It seemed like a lot of people had the same idea I had. The main parking lot was nearly full when I arrived around 9:15, but it didn’t feel very crowded on the boardwalk and trails. The boardwalks were a little slippery from the recent rain, but it wasn’t a problem. In fact, I saw people using a wheelchair and power scooters! As a FYI, the end of the boardwalk and viewing platform are still seasonally closed until February 4th.
Overall, I walked nearly 4 miles this morning and saw a variety of ducks, scoters, Canadian geese, a bald eagle, and most excitingly a ring neck pheasant! No seals or heron this morning, unfortunately. The fields are currently serving as wetlands from the rain and there are a ton of birds to check out there. If you have the time, Nisqually Wildlife Refuge!
