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 !!!
Afternoon started out sunny, ended up overcast ... wanted to see if i could find the Eurasian Wigeon again ... success in the late afternoon when the Eurasian was near Rest Lake shore ... and my best views yet of a Canvasback !!! ... too bad the sun wasn't shining ...
This trip includes ...
Greater White-fronted Goose ... Eurasian Wigeon ... Canvasback ... American Kestrel ... Red-tailed Hawk ...
