Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge — Sunday, Jan. 11, 2015

Southwest Washington > Vancouver Area
Great egret
Since we were camped in the area, we returned to do the auto tour route at the refuge. The Ridgefield NWR was established in 1965 to provide wintering habitat for the dusky subspecies of the Canada Goose. Today we saw many of these plus eagles, hawks, a variety of ducks, hawks, nutria , muskrat, hooded mergansers, and great egrets.

One of the neat signs along the auto route!
