Located along the Columbia River dikes, Ridgefield Refuge has open oak
woodlands that provide habitat for Scrub Jays, Bald Eagles, Tundra Swans,
Sandhill Cranes and thousands of Cackling and Canada Geese. The Julia Butler Hansen NWR has tidal and
fresh water wetlands, the Columbia River and supports a large variety of
waterfowl and if we are lucky a White-tailed Kite. Vancouver Lake is
home to more waterfowl, sparrows and gulls. The Dike Access Rd. circles the
Woodland Bottoms and brings us close to the Columbia River beaches, sandbars
and riparian forest. Stay at a motel in
Woodland. Meet by 8:00 a.m. at north end
of the Wilburton P&R (I-405, exit 12, SE 8th St.). Limit of 12, call Brian
Bell (425-485-8058) to reserve a spot.
Passenger cost/person $25.00.
