Nisqually Delta - Olympia, Washington - U.S. National Natural Landmarks on Waymarking.com

The Nisqually Delta is a temperate coastal salt marsh that is a major resting area for migratory waterfowl in the southern Puget Sound region. The Delta's official Landmark Webpage calls it "an unusually fine example of an estuarine ecosystem, and the only natural resting area for migratory waterfowl in the southern Puget Sound region."

The Delta is a Federal Wildlife Refuge. Its refuge Website can be viewed here, and a map of the refuge can be downloaded here.
