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 !!!
This webauthor heard about the Virginia Rail on April 14, 2007. Getting to the Bird Blind early on the morning of April 15th produced results, with the Virginia Rail almost immediately presenting himself/herself.
The following are images captured of the Virginia Rail, arranged monthly. Not all Virginia Rail images are shown here, more can be found throughout the Trip Logs. Also link out to the "Trip Logs" to see more images of various birds, wildflowers, and wildlife seen each day.
