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 following are images captured of the Ring-necked Duck, arranged monthly. Not all Ring-necked Duck images are shown here, more can be found in the "Trip Logs". Also, link out to the "Trip Logs" to see images of various birds, wildflowers, and wildlife seen on that day.
