"Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge" "Great Egret"

Click image to enlarge Great Egret. Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge, Washington, River "S" Unit. Image taken, November 2, 2007. 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 !!! First shots of the Great Egret were in April, with the birds staying some distance from the road. The most interesting shots began in May as the birds moved closerin. Then as the summer progressed and into the fall --- BEAUTIFUL opportunities !!!!!!!!!!! The following are images captured of the Great Egret. Not all Great Egret 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. May 8, 2007 ... May 8, 2007, Trip Log Click image to enlarge Great Egrets.
