Day Hike - Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge

Come count the birds at Nisqually with this Jr. Ranger hike for Families! This is the best time to be at the Wildlife Preserve because there are so many different migratory birds and the owl babies may make an appearance. We will walk the inside loop slowly, using our binoculars to identify and count all the beautiful types of birds! Special treats provided!
