View from the visitor center. The park was filled with birders,
all carrying binoculars and cameras with huge lenses.
These little guys left an intricate pattern of footprints while
searching for food. The tide was out during our visit.
The Olympic Mountains in the background, still covered in snow. This is the first time they've been visible during my visits to the wildlife refuge.
Mount Rainier looked like a big white cloud on the horizon...
...so I zoomed in for a closer look. Clouds are moving in.
A last look at the visitor center from the boardwalk, then time to head home.

ReplyDeleteIt looks a perfect day, I am jealous of all the birdwatching. I know the Canada goose of course, but do you know the other birds?
