Description
21 June 2019 - On this first day of summer, the colors of nature were vibrant, epitomizing perfection. A pleasant bird-watching couple passed by. A blue heron caught an afternoon snack. The gentlest breeze skimmed over the water and through the trees. It was solstice serenity.
This photograph was taken at the Iroquois Wildlife Refuge - Alabama, New York.
Located in the rural towns of Alabama and Shelby, New York, the Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge has been described as one of the best kept secrets of Western New York. The refuge serves primarily as a nesting, feeding, resting and staging areas for migratory waterfowl. The varied habitats support approximately 266 species of birds, 42 species of mammals, plus reptiles, fish, amphibians and insects. The refuge is one of over 540 National Wildlife Refuges in the United States managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The National Wildlife Refuge System is the only network of federal lands dedicated specifically to wildlife conservation. Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge is a namesake of the Iroquois Indians, a Native American federation that resided in the north east.
