My first week of the Hike-a-Thon and I'm starting with this. I am a regular visitor here and it is a reliably interesting walk. The refuge is a mix of gravel and boardwalk trails and you never know what you might see here. Coyotes, herons, eagles, minks, weasels, owls, bullfrogs and more species of birds than you can count. Great for all abilities and a wonderful opportunity to learn about the natural world.
Bathrooms are finally open and stocked. The Visitor Center will be next as they stagger the reopening of services. $3 for parking gets you miles of trail and great bird and wildlife viewing. Lots of helpful people around and the best $3 you'll spend all month !

This series of bird photos is SO good -- seconding Birb's comment, the robin with its mouth full is adorable.

Thank you ! It is sich q great place for birding. Everything feels very accessible and late summer can be wonderful wildlife viewing. I am there at 6:15 in the morning as many days as I can and I'm never disappointed.
