   Best Shorebird Viewing  
Shorebirds             migrating from as far south as Argentina stop to rest and feed in             Grays Harbor Estuary every spring. The estuary's open mudflats provide             ample food for the migrants, and great wildlife viewing opportunities             for the public.              **Best shorebird viewing** is usually between two hours before and two hours after high tide             from mid-April through mid-May. Birds can be viewed from the Sandpiper             Trail at Grays Harbor NWR.
