Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge
Ridgefield is one of my favorite places to go birding. Several years ago, a friend took me there early in the morning. Edi was my birding mentor if you will. It was early spring and cool. I was beginning to get a little bored - I wanted to see something new!
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw something stir…and then it was gone…but was it? I stood looking at the stand of reeds for the longest time…and then I saw it…an American Bittern. Normally they stay well hidden amoung the cattails and bullrush, so I was delighted to see one.
