Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge is located in southern Tillamook County, on the Oregon’s northern coast on Nestucca Bay, at the confluence of the Nestucca and Little Nestucca rivers. It is part of the Oregon Coast National Wildlife Refuge Complex. It is established in 1991 to protect one tenth of the world's population of dusky Canada goose. The dusky Canadian geese and Aleutian cackling geese spend the winter in the refuge’s short grass pastures. The refuge consists of seven habitats, including tidal marsh, tidal mudflats, woodland, grassland, pasture, forested lagg and freshwater bogs. It includes the Pacific Coast’s southernmost coastal Sphagnum bog habitat. The Sphagnum bog is home to many interesting species, such as the bog cranberry and carnivorous sundew plant. Nestucca Bay and River system are native home to Chinook and coho salmon, coastal cutthroat trout and steelhead. Many migrating shorebirds, peregrine falcons and bald eagles reside in the refuge year around.
