As I always do on the way home, following a short visit to the San Francisco Bay Area, I take in at least one of the National Wildlife Refuges (NWR) found in the Sacramento Valley. I usually stop at the two refuges that have easily accessed auto tour routes, the Sacramento NWR and Colusa NWR.

Indeed, can you truly experience the wonder of nature from the confines of a vehicle? This stoked Great Egret was at Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge, CA. This is one of many Black Terns flying low over a bridge at Des Lacs National Wildlife Refuge, North Dakota. Does that sound so bad?

The Refuge has also become a place where people can experience and learn about wildlife and the places they call home, whether through self-guided discovery or by participating in one of our many educational programs. The Service proposes opening the following refuges to sport fishing for the first time: North Dakota.
