Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Area

Beautiful wildlife refuge filled with wonderful sights. My most recent trip spotted a large Bald Eagle, a Blue Heron, plenty of ducks and more in the first few minutes of arriving. The twin barns are rustic and great for photography. The park continues further than I have yet to explore. Looking forward to more visits and adventures here.
