Siletz Bay Wildlife Refuge

On one of our Oregon travel days this year we came upon this refuge on the central Oregon coast, in Lincoln County, Lincoln city.  It was absolutely stunning.  The cloud mist made the scenery all the more magical like gazing into a fairy tale globe.  I stopped to watch for birds.  Canada Geese were abundant and honking during landings.  Great Blue Herons made routine short flights in between trees.

 Buffleheads were swimming by and diving for fish. Coots and a Merganser pair were passing by each other.  I long to be back at this spot which is actually a parking lot at the side of the road.  No one there but me and my husband.  Highway travel noise was heard but quicly forgotten as I was mesmerized by the sheer beauty of this refuge.
