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 Carty Unit has miles of trails including a 2-mile "Oaks to Wetlands" trail. A pair of binoculars is a must and a camera makes it even more fun !!!
First seen in early April on the shores of Schwartz Lake, and then again in mid-summer at the same location.
The following are images captured of the Greater Yellowlegs, arranged monthly. Not all Greater Yellowlegs 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 that day.
