The River "S" Unit of the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge has a 4.2 mile auto tour route and 1.5 mile seasonal hiking trail. The auto tour is an excellent way to see the Refuge. A pair of binoculars is a must and a camera makes it even more fun !!!
Not usually seen at the Refuge ... it is thought the thunderstorm of 2 days ago drove them into Rest Lake. Day overcast with heavy clouds. Would have LOVED to have had some sun !!!! ... Beautiful birds.
The following are images captured of the American White Pelican taken on Saturday, June 6, 2009.
