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 !!!
The Mew Gull was my 104th bird photographed at Ridgefield. On February 18, 2008, about mid-day a flock of 40 to 50 strong (including some Ring-billed Gulls) circled the Refuge from one end to the other, putting on a wonderful aerial display.
The following are images captured of the Mew Gull.
Also, link out to the "Trip Logs" to see more images of various birds, wildflowers, and wildlife seen each day.
