Whether you wield a smartphone or a zoom lens, you鈥檒l find photo-worthy subjects at the refuge. Two of the most photogenic species that visitors encounter are great egrets and wood ducks. Great egrets are common near the Wildlife Drive from May until October. However, July through September is when they are most abundant at the refuge when hundreds can be seen in a day. Wood ducks are best found near the Wildlife Drive and Ferguson Bayou Trail from May to October as well. Females with broods of ducklings can be spotted in June and July, but this species is most abundant from August through October.
