McNary National Wildlife Refuge is a wildlife preserve, one of the national wildlife refuges operated by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Extending along the east bank of the Columbia River in southeastern Washington, from the confluence of the Snake River to the mouth of the Walla Walla River, and downstream into Oregon, McNary NWR is located in rural Burbank, but very close to the rapid development of the Tri-Cities (Kennewick, Pasco and Richland). In fact, the refuge meets the definition of an "urban refuge." Few areas in North America support waterfowl populations in the extraordinary numbers found here. There are spectacular concentrations of Canada geese, mallards, and other waterfowl. More than half the mallards in the Pacific Flyway overwinter at some time in this porti

rdfs:comment	McNary National Wildlife Refuge je rezervace v americkém státě Washington, jejíž cílem je ochrana různých druhů vodního ptactva. Jen málo rezervacích tohoto typu v Severní Americe pak na svém území obsahuje tolik jedinců jako právě tato. Mimo jiné si tak zdejší návštěvníci mohou užít pohledů na obrovské kolonie kachen divokých a bernešek velkých. Co se týče kachen divokých, více než polovina jedinců tohoto druhu, který migruje na jih po Pacifické migrační dráze, alespoň načas zimuje právě v rezervaci, která je částí Columbijské náhorní plošiny. Díky svému umístění nedaleko aglomerace a několika mezistátních i státních dálnic je lehce přístupná pro turisty. (cs) Das McNary National Wildlife Refuge ist ein vom United States Fish and Wildlife Service verwaltetes National Wildlife Refuge. Es erstreckt sich am Ostufer des Columbia River im Südosten des US-Bundesstaates Washington von der Mündung des Snake River bis zur Mündung des Walla Walla River sowie flussabwärts bis nach Oregon hinein. Das Schutzgebiet liegt im ländlichen , jedoch sehr nahe den sich rasch entwickelnden Tri-Cities (Kennewick, Pasco und Richland), wobei Pasco der nächstgelegene Ort ist. Tatsächlich trifft auf das Schutzgebiet die Definition eines „städtischen Naturschutzgebietes“ zu. In wenigen Gebieten Nordamerikas können so zahlreiche Populationen von Wasservögeln beobachtet werden.
