November Monthly Challenge

[Chris]

While almost all of the migratory species have made their way through, November can still tally a relatively high number of species. November offers a great opportunity to see thousands of Bald Eagles and other birds, mostly waterfowl, at the Chehalis Estuary. November is also a great month to explore Tuyttens Wetlands for waterfowl, sparrows, and many other different bird species.
