From Gray’s Harbor Nat’l Wildllife Refuge website:
“FROM LATE APRIL through early May, hundreds of thousands of shorebirds concentrate on the muddy tideflats of Grays Harbor Estuary on the Washington Coast. Grays Harbor Estuary is one of four major staging areas for shorebirds in North America and one of the largest concentrations of shorebirds on the west coast, south of Alaska. Shorebirds gather here in the spring to feed, store up fat reserves, and rest for the non-stop flight to their northern breeding grounds.
These Arctic-bound shorebirds, coming from as far south as Argentina, are among the world’s greatest migrants; many travel over 15,000 miles round trip. From June through October the shorebirds return to the estuary in lesser concentrations on their way south during the longer fall migration period. Thousands of shorebirds, primarily dunlin, stay for the winter. “

I would like to announce a special offer to members of NWPhotographers.net! I have come to an agreement with Lensrentals.com which provides our members with extended rental offers effective immediately.
What this means to you as a member of NWPhotographers.net is that when you choose to rent a piece of equipment from Lensrentals.com, you will be granted additional days for the price of the standard rental period. For instance, say you wish to rent a lens for a week, as a member, for the weekly rate, you will get a 10 day rental which could allow you to have the lens for 2 weekends! Another example is if you should choose to rent for 2 weeks, you will be given an extra week at no additional charge.
