Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge
100 Brown Farm Road
Olympia, WA 98516
Directions

As the plants begin to open up to Spring, the birds are continuing the migratory cycle on their way to nesting grounds. One of the Pacific Northwest’s most important stopovers for these migrants is Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge on the Nisqually River Delta

Three thousand acres of salt and freshwater marshes, grasslands, riparian, and mixed forest habitats provide resting and nesting areas for migratory waterfowl, songbirds, raptors, and wading birds. Its diverse ecosystems also make it great habitat for coyote, river otters, seals and beaver. Shake off the winter malaise, rise and shine and join us for a refreshing journey through this amazing refuge.

Please bring:
Binoculars
Dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes
A travel mug for coffee or hot chocolate
A water bottle
A camera
Lunch
Your favorite bird guide book


We will have:
Professional guides to lead small groups and identify and find those great birds!
Warm drinks and snacks
Transportation for those traveling from Seattle

**For those coming from Seattle, we will meet at the Council Headquarters (directions) in Georgetown at 7:30 A.M. to arrive at Nisqually by 9 A.M. and be heading back to Seattle around 1 P.M. Please indicate if you will be carpooling with us, so we know how many to expect.
