Hi everyone,
Made my first trip to Nisqually Wildlife Refuge today. I have listed my
observations below. 14 of these were first time birds for me. This is
fabulous place! The route we took was basically the Twin Barn Loop with
a 1/4 mile jaunt out McAlister Creek Road. I plan to make the whole 5
1/2 mile trip in the future.
