Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge is one of my favorite spots for bird watching and landscape painting. Growing up nearby, my mom and I would come here often to see Bald Eagles, Great Blue herons, egrets, Sandhill Cranes, owls, swans and geese by the thousands, and much more. I still come here at all times of year. This little creek is a great spot to see turtles, frogs, ducks and nutria. I know, nutria are invasive, and yet I can’t help but find them cute and disgusting at the same time.
