There are tons of opportunities for wildlife watching and birding in the Tri-Cities.

If you want to check out American White Pelicans, osprey, bald eagles, black-crowned night herons, great egrets, blue herons, red-tailed hawks, elk, mule deer, coyote, river otter, jack rabbits, tundra swans, and snow geese, you'll want to get to the Tri-Cities and check out our great wildlife viewing and birding areas including:
The Hanford Reach National Monument, Audubon Nature Trail, Badger Mountain Centennial Preserve, Bateman Island, Sacagawea Heritage Trail, Tapteal Greenway/Chamna Natural Preserve, and McNary National Wildlife Refuge. McNary National Wildlife Refuge just opened its new educational facility complete with a detailed taxidermy exhibit.
