Ridgefield WLR in the Winter of 2017

 Bill and I made a trip to the Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge in February because we were tired of the rain and felt cooped up in the house. We were richly rewarded! First we saw this Greater Yellow-legs.

 Leaving Ridgefield we saw this beautiful old barn

An interesting old building with a false front. What stories it could tell!
