The region’s tide pools, estuaries and waterways attract thousands of geese, ducks, gulls, loons and shorebirds each year and recently made the Audubon Society’s list as one of Washington State’s top birding destinations. Drayton Harbor attracts a high population of endangered species as well including the bald eagle, peregrine falcon and marbled murrelet.
