Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge 03/25/2011

After a few rainy days, today is a beautiful sunny day.  I decided it will be a good day to visit Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge.
Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1974 for protection of migratory birds.  It is located on the Nisqually River Delta in southern Puget Sound near Olympia, Washington.

Managed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service in the Department of the Interior, Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge is one of over 544 National Wildlife Refuges in the United States. 

Over 20,000 birds, made up of 275 different migrating species, use the freshwater marshes and grasslands for breeding, resting or wintering. 

It is a wonderful place to learn many wildlife species and appreciate the wonderful nature place that our creator has provided us.
