Birdathon Field Trip

Nisqually Photography Friendly Field Trip

Join us for a photography friendly field trip to Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge. This will be a photography friendly and focused walk. We will not be focusing on moving quickly or extensive bird counts (eBird list will be kept). We will stop in some areas longer if photography is good and faster through others if less active.
