Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge in Washington State

 Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge is such a wonderful place to visit! We finally had a day of decent weather, so off we went. This is probably the most photographed great blue heron in the Pacific Northwest! You must stay in your automobile this time of the year, so the birds are very used to the cars touring the refuge.

 This is Bill's photo. He spotted this hawk off in the distance and I handed him my camera and said, "Take his picture!" I love this photo!

We became so engrossed in watching these owls that we didn't leave the refuge soon enough and we were locked inside the gate! We had to call the police so they could come let us out.
