Grays Harbor National Wildlife Refuge |
Each spring, over a million shorebirds (principally western sandpipers) pass through the Grays Harbor area, presenting a major spectacle in April and May. Peregrine falcons and merlins are also seen at that time. Throughout the year, a wide variety of wildlife is present in the tidal flats, in the salt marshes, and in the adjacent upland habitat.
The refuge encompasses about 1,500-acres and is located at the western city limits of Hoquiam. Marked routes lead to good wildlife viewing and photography locations.
