The day was a good one. Visitors went hiking, biking, learning how to survive and not get lost in the woods, and enjoying a beautiful Fall Day with the wildlife. Many more species of wildlife are moving South for the Winter which means more to see at the Visitors Center and the Observation Building. Thanks to the Alabama Water Patrol the waters within the Refuge are being protected from those boaters and fisherman who think high speed and noise is to have fun in those very shallow and dangerous water with numerous underwater obstacles.

One wildlife update: Two of our Whooping Cranes have arrived at their Winter home and will be with us for a while now. While shy right now, they will be travveling over the Refuge area as the next several months click off until Spring. Image 1579 documents them just in the rear of the pelicans.
