Nisqually NWR

Happy Thursday everyone! 

EDIT: I am linking up with Favorite Fotos thanks to Lydia at Where the Wild Things Were

I still have some May photos to share, promise these are the last. These were images from the Nisqually NWR near Olympia Washington state.  This was our second visit to this wildlife refuge the first visit was Nisqually NWR 2015

The Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge has some nice trails, this boardwalk trail takes you to Puget Sound Overlook and the Nisqually Estuary. Along the boardwalk are several observation platforms. The trail (part grass/dirt and boardwalk) can be as long as a 4-5 mile walk from the visitor center. 

We saw lots of Canada Geese families. The goslings were so cute.

From the boardwalk we saw a couple of seals, they found a resting spot out of the water.

The sky was beautiful during our visit and walk on the Nisqually boardwalk trail.

For Tom's Barn Collective I have a couple of photos of the Nisqually twin barns.

The trail takes you past the twin barns. These barns are part of the wildlife refuge. 

Some of the birds we saw during our walk at the wildlife refuge, the Hooded Merganser, I believe the top middle are a couple of Gadwall, Great Blue Heron with some Gulls, Ducks, Song Sparrow, Cormorants, Sparrow, Barn Swallow, Tree Swallow.

A view from the boardwalk, gorgeous sky and view of the refuge wetlands.

I am thankful for places that protect wildlife and nature. I hope you enjoyed our walk at the wildlife refuge. I am always thankful for your visits and your comments.

Thank you Michelle for hosting. Thankful Thursday
