Nisqually Delta Nature Walk

This was a well attended event, even though it is a bit out of town -- we were all thrilled to have so many friends join us for this great activity. The Nisqually Delta is located just off of highway I-5 south of Dupont. It is an excellent park that one could spend all day at exploring, walking, finding animals and studying birds.
We did the mile loop boardwalk trail to keep it stroller friendly. Part way through we stopped at a river overlook to have our lunch together. The kids enjoyed the river view and the break in the shade as it was a sunny day!

We saw many birds that day, even through the squeals and pitter patter of the children's feet on the boardwalk. Hard to be quiet as a larger group. A big high light for the kids were all the bird nests located near the beginning nature building. We spotted several nest with little babies peeking back at us. For some of us, we also were fortunate to see a deer and raccoon. This would be a great park to experience again as an activity at different times of the year!
