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 !!!
Nice warm spring day ... one "highlight" which I saw but never got to photograph was a Townsand's Warbler ... what a missed opportunity for a "first bird" photograph !!!!!! ...
